# Configuring NGINX for Evennia with SSL
|
||||
|
||||
[Nginx](https://nginx.org/en/) is a proxy server; you can put it between Evennia and the outside world to serve your game over encrypted connections. Another alternative is [HAProxy](./Config-HAProxy.md).
|
||||
|
||||
> This is NOT a full set-up guide! It assumes you know how to get your own `Letsencrypt` certificates, that you already have nginx installed, and that you are familiar with Nginx configuration files. **If you don't already use nginx,** you are probably better off using the [guide for using HAProxy](./Config-HAProxy.md) instead.
|
||||
|
||||
## SSL on the website and websocket
|
||||
|
||||
Both the website and the websocket should be accessed through your normal HTTPS port, so they should be defined together.
|
||||
|
||||
For nginx, here is an example configuration, using Evennia's default ports:
|
||||
```
|
||||
server {
|
||||
server_name example.com;
|
||||
|
||||
listen [::]:443 ssl;
|
||||
listen 443 ssl;
|
||||
ssl_certificate /path/to/your/cert/file;
|
||||
ssl_certificate_key /path/to/your/cert/key;
|
||||
|
||||
location /ws {
|
||||
# The websocket connection
|
||||
proxy_pass http://localhost:4002;
|
||||
proxy_http_version 1.1;
|
||||
# allows the handshake to upgrade the connection
|
||||
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
|
||||
proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
|
||||
# forwards the connection IP
|
||||
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
|
||||
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
|
||||
proxy_set_header Host $host;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
lo[[Settings]]cation / {
|
||||
# The main website
|
||||
proxy_pass http://localhost:4001;
|
||||
proxy_http_version 1.1;
|
||||
# forwards the connection IP
|
||||
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
|
||||
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
|
||||
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
|
||||
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This proxies the websocket connection through the `/ws` location, and the root location to the website.
|
||||
|
||||
Following that example, you then need the following in your `server/conf/secret_settings.py`
|
||||
|
||||
> The `secret_settings.py` file is not included in `git` commits and is to be used for secret stuff. This also means you can continue using default access points for local development, making your life easier.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
SERVER_HOSTNAME = "example.com"
|
||||
# Set the FULL URI for the websocket, including the scheme
|
||||
WEBSOCKET_CLIENT_URL = "wss://example.com/ws"
|
||||
# Turn off all external connections
|
||||
LOCKDOWN_MODE = True
|
||||
```
|
||||
This makes sure that evennia uses the correct URI for websocket connections. Setting `LOCKDOWN_MODE` on will also prevents any external connections directly to Evennia's ports, limiting it to connections through the nginx proxies.
|
||||
|
||||
## Telnet SSL
|
||||
|
||||
> This will proxy ALL telnet access through nginx! If you want players to connect directly to Evennia's telnet ports instead of going through nginx, leave `LOCKDOWN_MODE` off and use a different SSL implementation, such as activating Evennia's internal telnet SSL port (see `settings.SSL_ENABLED` and `settings.SSL_PORTS` in [default settings file](./Settings-Default.md)).
|
||||
|
||||
If you've only used nginx for websites, telnet is slightly more complicated. You need to set up stream parameters in your primary configuration file, e.g. `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf` - which, at least in my case, was not there by default.
|
||||
|
||||
We chose to parallel the `http` structure, so to have `streams-available` conf files symlinked in `streams-enabled` the same as other sites.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
stream {
|
||||
include /etc/nginx/conf.streams.d/*.conf;
|
||||
include /etc/nginx/streams-enabled/*;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
Then of course you need to create the required folders in the same folder:
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo mkdir conf.streams.d streams-available streams-enabled
|
||||
|
||||
An example configuration file for the telnet connection - using an arbitrary external port of `4040` - would then be:
|
||||
```
|
||||
server {
|
||||
listen [::]:4040 ssl;
|
||||
listen 4040 ssl;
|
||||
|
||||
ssl_certificate /path/to/your/cert/file;
|
||||
ssl_certificate_key /path/to/your/cert/key;
|
||||
|
||||
# connect to Evennia's internal NON-SSL telnet port
|
||||
proxy_pass localhost:4000;
|
||||
# forwards the connection IP - requires --with-stream-realip-module
|
||||
set_real_ip_from $realip_remote_addr:$realip_remote_port
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
Players can now connect with telnet+SSL to your server at `example.com:4040` - but *not* to the internal connection of `4000`.
|
||||
|
||||
> ***IMPORTANT: With this configuration, the default front page will be WRONG.*** You will need to change the `index.html` template and update the telnet section (NOT the telnet ssl section!) to display the correct information.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Don't Forget!
|
||||
|
||||
`certbot` will automatically renew your certificates for you, but nginx won't see them without reloading. Make sure to set up a monthly cron job to reload your nginx service to avoid service interruptions due to expired certificates.
