Enabling SSL on Docker - GrantID

Stop the stack (if already running):

docker stack rm grantid

Store the certificate and key files as secrets (replace grantid.pem and grantid.key below with your certificate and key files):

docker secret create grantid_ssl_cert grantid.pem
docker secret create grantid_ssl_cert_key grantid.key

Edit the Docker compose file:

nano grantid-stack.yml

Uncomment the following entries:

...

secrets:
  ...
  # Uncomment to enable SSL
  grantid_ssl_cert:
    external: true
  grantid_ssl_cert_key:
    external: true

...

services:
  
  ...

  nginx:
    ...
    # Uncomment to enable SSL
    secrets:
      - grantid_ssl_cert
      - grantid_ssl_cert_key
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      # Uncomment to enable SSL
      - "443:443"

...

Edit the Nginx configuration file:

nano grantid-proxy.conf

Uncomment the following entries:

# Identity Service

...

    # Uncomment to enable SSL
    listen               443 ssl;
    ssl_certificate      /run/secrets/grantid_ssl_cert;
    ssl_certificate_key  /run/secrets/grantid_ssl_cert_key;

...

# Auth Server

...

    # Uncomment to enable SSL
    listen               443 ssl;
    ssl_certificate      /run/secrets/grantid_ssl_cert;
    ssl_certificate_key  /run/secrets/grantid_ssl_cert_key;

...

# Console

...

    # Uncomment to enable SSL
    listen               443 ssl;
    ssl_certificate      /run/secrets/grantid_ssl_cert;
    ssl_certificate_key  /run/secrets/grantid_ssl_cert_key;

...

Edit the GrantID configuration file:

nano grantid.json

Make the following changes:

Section Application
- AuthServerUrl: change the protocol of the URL to https, e.g. https://id.patorum.com
- ConsoleUrl: change the protocol of the URL to https, e.g. https://console.id.patorum.com
- UseSSL: change to true

Deploy the stack with the new configurations:

docker stack deploy -c grantid-stack.yml grantid
