Configure HTTPS encrypted server on Nginx

Preface

Recently, developing a WeChat mini-program required using Https, so I fiddled around with it.

Super Simple Steps

1. Applying for an SSL Certificate

Most cloud server providers offer this service. I applied for one on Tencent Cloud, and it was completed in ten minutes.

2. Upload Certificate

Upload to a folder.

3. Configure Nginx

Online resources typically suggest directly modifying the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file. However, on my server, this file does not contain a server block for configuration. Therefore, you need to modify the virtual host configuration file located in /etc/nginx/sites-available.

Basic Configuration: Simply add this section to your existing virtual host configuration:

server {
    #SSL parameters
    listen              443 ssl;
    server_name         example.com;
    #Certificate file
    ssl_certificate     /path/to/example.com.crt;
    #Private key file
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/example.com.key;
    ssl_protocols       TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
    ssl_ciphers         HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
    #...
}
