yuvipanda 28af89a381 Move tljh-config symlink to /usr/bin
Removes a lot of 'sudo -E' usage, and eventually should
let us get rid of the $PATH override for jupyterhub-admins,
which arguably is less secure than just dropping stuff into
/usr/bin

Also remove sudo -E from apt and mkdir calls. Not necessary.

============
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 tljh-config set https.enabled true
sudo tljh-config set https.letsencrypt.email you@example.com
sudo 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 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 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 tljh-config set https.enabled true
sudo tljh-config set https.tls.key /etc/mycerts/mydomain.key
sudo tljh-config set https.tls.cert /etc/mycerts/mydomain.cert
Once you have loaded this, your config should look like::
sudo 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 tljh-config reload proxy
and now access your Hub securely at https://yourhub.yourdomain.edu.
