This is an old revision of the document!
The idea is having TWO NGINX proxy linked by a WireGuard channel.
External NGINX
- nginx.conf
server { listen 4443 ssl; # to be changed later location / { proxy_pass https://10.0.0.1:8443/; # put your WG tunnel address } ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/home.mydomain.com/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/home.mydomain.com/privkey.pem; # add any more certs for other domains include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl on; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; proxy_http_version 1.1; }
Certificates
Needs to be shared between the internal server and the external server. You cannot use certbot on both, because ports 80&443 of external are redirected to the internal and certbot on external would not work.
So, on internal zip che certs after any update, edit crontab like:
47 5 * * * /etc/letsencrypt/certbot-renew.sh && (cd /etc && tar cJf /home/user/certs-copy.tar.xy letsencrypt) &>> /root/certbot.log 31 16 * * * /etc/letsencrypt/certbot-renew.sh && (cd /etc && tar cJf /home/user/certs-copy.tar.xy letsencrypt) &>> /root/certbot.log
On external, copy that file over and replace certs, again in crontab:
10 6 * * * sftp -P 5022 user@127.0.0.1:/home/user/certs-copy.tar.xy /root/certs-copy.tar.xy && cd /etc && tar xvf /root/certs-copy.tar.xy && chown root:root -R letsencrypt && /etc/init.d/nginx restart 50 16 * * * sftp -P 5022 user@127.0.0.1:/home/user/certs-copy.tar.xy /root/certs-copy.tar.xy && cd /etc && tar xvf /root/certs-copy.tar.xy && chown root:root -R letsencrypt && /etc/init.d/nginx restart
Of course, add the external root SSH public key to user file /home/use/.ssh/authorized_keys for passwordless access.
