I try to make a ssl encryption on the glpi webpage for my company.
Actually, This website is on a other virtual-machine.
The website is accessible on port 8000 (port 80 is used for something else, I don’t know what, I’m new on the company and I don’t have all the information)
I’ve know than certbot can’t processed my request because the certification can not be obtain on a other port than port 80.
But Have I a other way to obtain a certificate ?
I was thinking about switch the glpi on the virtualMachine with all other website of the domain and certified all with a wildcard. Or use a reverse-proxy ?
But if you have other method and/or alternative I’m in.
My web server is:
Apache2
The operating system my web server runs on is:
Debian 8
Domain name: proactiveit.be – More accurately I just want the website help.proactiveit.be
There are several ways, depending on what you are able to do. if you control the DNS zone for this domain, you can use the DNS challenge type. This is best if you have some form of programmatic access to create TXT records. If not, it could be a pain for renewal. The reverse proxy is also a common option, if you’re able to set that up on whatever services is listening on port 80. Using SNI to proxy requests for your domain (or just a specific vhost for the .well-known/acme-challenge directory if it’s the same domain as the port 80 service) to port 8000 is a good option.
