============
Enable HTTPS
============
Every JupyterHub deployment should enable HTTPS!
HTTPS encrypts traffic so that usernames and passwords and other potentially sensitive bits of information are communicated securely.
The Littlest JupyterHub supports automatically configuring HTTPS via `Let's Encrypt <https://letsencrypt.org>`_,
or setting it up :ref:`manually <manual_https>` with your own TLS key and certificate.
If you don't know how to do that,
then :ref:`Let's Encrypt <letsencrypt>` is probably the right path for you.
.. _letsencrypt:
Automatic HTTPS with Let's Encrypt
==================================
To enable HTTPS via letsencrypt::
sudo -E tljh-config set https.enabled true
sudo -E tljh-config set https.letsencrypt.email you@example.com
sudo -E tljh-config add-item https.letsencrypt.domains yourhub.yourdomain.edu
where ``you@example.com`` is your email address and ``yourhub.yourdomain.edu`` is the domain where your hub will be running.
Once you have loaded this, your config should look like::
sudo -E tljh-config show
.. sourcecode:: yaml
https:
enabled: true
letsencrypt:
email: you@example.com
domains:
- yourhub.yourdomain.edu
Finally, you can reload the proxy to load the new configuration::
sudo -E tljh-config reload proxy
At this point, the proxy should negotiate with Let's Encrypt to set up a trusted HTTPS certificate for you.
It may take a moment for the proxy to negotiate with Let's Encrypt to get your certificates, after which you can access your Hub securely at https://yourhub.yourdomain.edu.
.. _manual_https:
Manual HTTPS with existing key and certificate
==============================================
You may already have an SSL key and certificate.
If so, you can tell your deployment to use these files::
sudo -E tljh-config set https.enabled true
sudo -E tljh-config set https.tls.key /etc/mycerts/mydomain.key
sudo -E tljh-config set https.tls.cert /etc/mycerts/mydomain.cert
Once you have loaded this, your config should look like::
sudo -E tljh-config show
.. sourcecode:: yaml
https:
enabled: true
tls:
key: /etc/mycerts/mydomain.key
cert: /etc/mycerts/mydomain.cert
Finally, you can reload the proxy to load the new configuration::
sudo -E tljh-config reload proxy
and now access your Hub securely at https://yourhub.yourdomain.edu.
