How to enable HTTPS - r.baltasarm - 2019 Mar 09

Hi all,
I'm interested in enabling https protocol for web interface.
How can I do that?.

Thanks to all.

RE: How to enable HTTPS - dan - 2019 Mar 09

There are a couple of ways to do it.

See the SIP wiki topic about Reverse proxy:
https://github.com/Dan-in-CA/SIP/wiki/Reverse-proxy

You might also look at the web.py docs:
http://webpy.org/cookbook/ssl

See the section under web.py 0.37

SIP will be moving to web.py 0.4 in order to be Python 3 compatible. Then you can use the instructions for that version of web.py.

If you want to access SIP remotely another option is to install PiVPN:
http://www.pivpn.io/

That will give you secure access from anywhere in the world where there is an internet connection.

If you running SIP on a Pi then I would vote against using Apache2 as a reverse proxy since it is somewhat massive for the Pi.
Nginx is more lightweight.

You could also look at HAProxy which is really good as a revproxy and do ssl offloading (my preferred option :-) )

**edit** If someone is interested I can post my haproxy config

RE: How to enable HTTPS - astrogerard - 2019 Mar 11

For those who are interested (if any) in protecting SIP with HAproxy here is my config. I also have made my own node-red dashboard to control SIP from a simple interface. That's why you see the /ui redirect.

Code:
global
       log /dev/log    local0
       log /dev/log    local1 notice
       chroot /var/lib/haproxy
       stats socket /run/haproxy/admin.sock mode 660 level admin
       stats timeout 30s
       user haproxy
       group haproxy
       daemon

       # Default SSL material locations
       ca-base /etc/ssl/certs
       crt-base /etc/ssl/letsencrypt

       # Default ciphers to use on SSL-enabled listening sockets.
       # For more information, see ciphers(1SSL). This list is from:
       #  https://hynek.me/articles/hardening-your-web-servers-ssl-ciphers/
       ssl-default-bind-ciphers ECDH+AESGCM:DH+AESGCM:ECDH+AES256:DH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+AES:ECDH+3DES:DH+3DES:RSA+AESGCM:RSA+AES:RSA+3DES:!aNULL:!MD5:!DSS
       ssl-default-bind-options no-sslv3

defaults
       log     global
       mode    http
       option  httplog
       option  dontlognull
       timeout connect 5000
       timeout client  50000
       timeout server  50000

Thank you Gerard.

As always your input is very useful.

RE: How to enable HTTPS - r.baltasarm - 2019 Mar 12

Thank you guys... ill try it

RE: How to enable HTTPS - cyberumb - 2019 May 02

I use the traefik reverse proxy dock which is a lot simpler. Just a few codes in the traefik rules.

[backends]
  [backends.backend-sip]
    [backends.backend-sip.servers.server]
       url = "http://192.168.x.xxx"



[frontends]
  [frontends.frontend-sip]
      backend = "backend-sip"
      passHostHeader = true
      [frontends.frontend-sip.routes.opensprinkler]
          rule = "HostConfusedip.domain.com"

RE: How to enable HTTPS - astrogerard - 2019 May 08

The question was about https/ssl. I don't see any lines on that in your config.

Here are more code lines in my traefik.toml. Once you have traefik setup, you can forward any LAN ip to domain, I got all free DNS domain from duckdns.

RE: How to enable HTTPS - astrogerard - 2019 May 11

Thanks for mentioning traefik but to be honest I totally disagree with the writer of the article you mention, HAProxy is in my opinion way easier to usefully add to SIP than a dockerized traefik. For a newbie just adding haproxy to the pi with my config always works even with the limited resources on the pi.

btw, I love docker, podman and other containers but for a newbie to start with SIP? ..... not yet :-)
