Hm... why I don't have a notification about you're answer in my topic? 😞
UPD. Oh sorry, I am stuped. This is my setting for the topic "Not Watching"
So I noticed that community.nodebb.org is running on https. So I thought it would be easy to setup my NodeBB instance that way, I finally got my server to give nodejs access to port 443 but it is not running in ssl mode. I did not find the steps in the documentation to get this working. Is it easy? Hard? Require buying a certificate?
I can give you some tips.
I prefer to set up Nginx as the reverse-proxy so all the HTTPS/SSL stuffs I just throw them to the Nginx. Easier that way. Perhaps this docs can give you a kickstart on reverse-proxy thingy.
Self-signing your certificate is okay, but when other people browsing your forum they would be spooked by "certificate not trusted" warning. Here's how to get a free CA-signed certificate.
I guess that's all for now.
I would recommend having NGinx in front of NodeBB too. Even if you don't use SSL.
