Hey mates, I have been struggling with getting this n8n port secure with an SSL (https://). My n8n sits on the main root at mydomain.com:5678. I have forced https sitewide but has not worked. I have read many different docs but none seemed to help me with my particular VPS setup. I am semi-new to the VPS space, so keeping it simple to implement would be great.
I do use let’s encrypt for the SSL for my domain and docker to do the installation of n8n. My application does run with no issues on HTTP, but not HTTPS.
A bit more info is needed, Are you using a reverse proxy for n8n or is it direct? It could just be that you need to set the HTTPS env option and add your certs, This is normally a lot easier if you are using a reverse proxy though as you can integrate Lets Encrypt there and not have to worry about manually updating the certs as needed.
@Jon thanks for your response. Port:5678 will not encrypt on the ssl. it always goes to http and not https. I have done a rewrite engine to envoke https but it still will not enforce it. Is this a reverse proxy issue or a cyber panel issue? Everything i have read on it is only an issue with Cyber Panel. I have struggled and have tried most fixes but they don’t work.
I have no idea on the Cyber Panel side, It should encrypt assuming you are enabling https in n8n and have the certs set. Just doing a rewrite though won’t do the job at that won’t handle the SSL side of things it just gives you a pretty URL.
The solution was to use a reverse proxy for cyberpanel is called OpenLiteSpeed. Super simple solution and easier that using command line in SSH. If anyone has more questions on this topic, I am happy to assist.
