I am trying to set up a Discourse VM (with Ubuntu Server 18.0.4.2 LTS as the main OS) that is reverse proxying through an Nginx VM (with Ubuntu Server 18.0.4.2 LTS as the main OS).
I can connect to the HTTP instance, but not HTTPS. I suspect the issue I’m running into is related to the Let’s Encrypt Key/Cert pair as I’m receiving Secure Connection Failed when I try logging into it. Please see THIS post (and the one below) from the Discourse Forum community for additional details (although there I use “myreserveddns.com” in place of “epochgames.co.uk”).
My domain is: https://board.epochgames.co.uk (more accurately https://board.myreserveddns.com:2045)
I ran this command: Ran letsencrypt certonly
on the Discourse server to create the key/cert pair, and SCPed them to /etc/nginx/ssl/
on the Nginx server. I have been following this guide.
It produced this output: “Secure Connection Failed” when I try to connect to the HTTPS site in a browser. No errors when I connect to the HTTP site (http://board.myreserveddns.com:2045)
My web server is (include version): I am setting up the Discourse and Nginx VMs on a Dell PowerEdge server with Proxmox VE 5.3 as the main OS. The “epochgames.co.uk” domain is registered with 123-Domains, the subdomains (“board” in this case) is set up in a Plesk Onyx 17.8.11 from UnlimitedWebHosting.
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): I think I explained this enough up above, yes?
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Again, I believe is explained above.
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): Yes to the Proxmox Server and all the VMs inside it (the server is literally sitting in my home). The 123-Domains account and the UnlimitedWebHosting Plesk Server is all hosted in the Cloud, so no to those two.
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): I think I’ve provided such details above.
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version
or certbot-auto --version
if you’re using Certbot): I think I’ve provided such details above.
If you need me to provide details, please let me know.
