Anything I can do about SSL support?

Got a RasPi 3 running with Homebridge and Config UI X, but want to use HTTPS for the webinterface.

Hi @albi,

I use Nginx which acts as a reverse proxy to provide SSL support to homebridge-config-ui-x and several other services I have running.

There are plenty of guides on the internet showing how to set this up; so I won't write another.

I will provide the location block you'll need if you choose to go with Nginx though, since you need to add a few extra lines to support WebSockets which homebridge-config-ui-x uses heavily:

location / {
    proxy_pass              http://localhost:8080;
    proxy_http_version      1.1;
    proxy_buffering         off;
    proxy_set_header        Host $host;
    proxy_set_header        Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header        Connection "Upgrade";
    proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header        X-Forward-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
