To server this site, you first must install the necessary packets.
apt -y install nginx letsencrypt
And start nginx
service nginx start
Then add the below into your nginx.conf file.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# therudes.com
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name therudes.com;
server_name www.therudes.com;
location '/.well-known/acme-challenge' {
default_type "text/plain";
root /var/www/therudes.com;
}
location / {
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
}
And reload the nginx config file.
nginx -s reload
After nginx has reloaded, and the site has been built, using the above setup, you need to create a new SSL key and request a certificate vi letsencrypt.
letsencrypt certonly --webroot -w /var/www/therudes.com -d therudes.com -d www.therudes.com
After successfully creating your new SSL Key and Certificate, you need to add the reset of the config to your nginx.conf file.
Add the below section to just below the previously added section to your nginx.conf file.
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name therudes.com;
server_name www.therudes.com;
root /var/www/therudes.com;
index index.html;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/therudes.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/therudes.com/privkey.pem;
ssl_stapling on;
error_page 404 /404.html;
}
