SSL

Quick Start

WARNING

Using self-signed certificates as shown below will result in a browser security warning. Use at your own risk.

SSL Configuration Variables

Variable	Default	Description
ENABLE_SSL	false	Enable/disable SSL/TLS encryption
SSL_PORT	8443	Port for HTTPS connections
SSL_DOMAIN	localhost	Domain name for SSL certificate
SSL_CERT_PATH	/app/data/ssl/termix.crt	Path to SSL certificate file (highly recommend default)
SSL_KEY_PATH	/app/data/ssl/termix.key	Path to SSL private key file (highly recommend default)

Security Variables

Variable	Default	Description
JWT_SECRET	Auto-generated	Secret key for JWT token signing
DATABASE_KEY	Auto-generated	Encryption key for database

Example .env File

# SSL/TLS Configuration
ENABLE_SSL=true
SSL_PORT=8443
SSL_DOMAIN=termix.example.com
PORT=8080

# Security Keys (auto-generated by setup script, I do not recommend you overwrite them)
JWT_SECRET=your-64-character-hex-string
DATABASE_KEY=your-64-character-hex-string

Using the automatic setup, your SSL certificate will last 1 year and should automatically regenerate.

Manual SSL Setup

1. Generate SSL Certificates

Self-Signed Certificate (Development)

# Create SSL directory
mkdir -p ./db/data/ssl

# Generate private key
openssl genrsa -out ./db/data/ssl/termix.key 2048

# Generate certificate
openssl req -new -x509 -key ./db/data/ssl/termix.key -out ./db/data/ssl/termix.crt -days 365 \
  -subj "/C=US/ST=State/L=City/O=Termix/OU=IT Department/CN=localhost" \
  -addext "subjectAltName=DNS:localhost,DNS:127.0.0.1,IP:127.0.0.1"

# Set proper permissions
chmod 600 ./db/data/ssl/termix.key
chmod 644 ./db/data/ssl/termix.crt

Let's Encrypt Certificate (Production)

# Install certbot
sudo apt-get install certbot

# Generate certificate
sudo certbot certonly --standalone -d your-domain.com

# Copy certificates to Termix data directory
sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain.com/fullchain.pem ./db/data/ssl/termix.crt
sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain.com/privkey.pem ./db/data/ssl/termix.key

# Set proper permissions
sudo chown $USER:$USER ./db/data/ssl/termix.*
chmod 600 ./db/data/ssl/termix.key
chmod 644 ./db/data/ssl/termix.crt

Then set the environment variables shown above to enable SSL.
