http2https

Linux service that converts http to https. For example:

|------------------------------------------|
|                WEB CLIENT                |
|------------------------------------------|
                    | ^
                    v |
|------------------------------------------|
|Sever B: 192.168.0.2     (http2https)     |
|HTTPS B service: https://192.168.0.2:8443/|
|------------------------------------------|
                    | ^
                    v |
|------------------------------------------|
|Server A: 192.168.0.10                    |
|HTTP A service: http://192.168.0.10:8080/ |
|------------------------------------------|

Here we want to use Sever B as a HTTPS proxy, redirecting all the requests to the HTTP service at Server A. Notice that A and B can be the same server.

Linux Install

The following example is an installation at Server B.

tmux & conda

NOTE ✅ You need to install tmux and conda.

To install tumx and other dependencies use this command:

admin@serverB:~$ sudo apt install tmux jq openssl

For conda you can download the latest installer from conda.io for your linux distro, for example x86_64:

admin@serverB:~$ wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

And then installing it with

admin@serverB:~$ bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

When the installer prompt if you want to execute "conda init" select yes. Then to avoid the automatic activation of the conda base environment use this:

admin@serverB:~$ conda config --set auto_activate_base false

App

Clone this repo. Note that where you clone the repo, it will be the installation folder. For example I will clone it in the /home directory of the user "admin", so if I don't set a custom bind name for the service, the installation folder will be /home/admin/http2https.

admin@serverB:~$ git clone https://github.com/Eric106/http2https

Then cd into the http2https folder:

admin@serverB:~$ cd http2https/

Run the installer (your user need to have sudo access to install the linux service) :

admin@serverB:~/http2https$ bash install.sh

This will install the conda environment called http2https, then the python packages needed will be installed. In the process it will prompt you for input about the config of your service like :

-http server ip

-http port

-https port

-ssl cert & key. You can select if you want to use a custom ssl cert and key paths or generate a self-signed key pair

-bind name for the service (default http2https). Note that if you change the bind name of the service it will change the name of the instalation folder, and linux service name.

Linux service management -> Start/Stop/Restart

After installation of the linux service you can start, stop and restart it with this simple commands. Assuming that you keep the default service bind name (http2https).

Run app

admin@serverB:~$ sudo service http2https start

Check app console

admin@serverB:~$ tmux a -t http2https

Kill app

admin@serverB:~$ sudo service http2https stop

Restart app

admin@serverB:~$ sudo service http2https restart

Note that for the installation of the service we have 2 important files:

• /etc/init.d/http2https -> This is the description of the linux service tha name may will be different if you set a custom service bind name.

• /etc/rc.local-> This file set the service to start on server reboot/start.

Uninstall service, auto-start and conda environment

You just need to cd into your installation folder

admin@serverB:~$ cd http2https/

And run the following command

admin@serverB:~/http2https$ bash uninstall.sh
