Metabase Debian to HTTPS, which solution should I choose?

[danchen327]

Dear Metabase team and Mr. flamber

Thanks for your support to my previous post.

Now, my metabase app is running on http perfectly.

Host: digital ocean
DNS: godaddy
OS: Ubuntu 22

Next process is make our app to run on https.

How to configure SSL

Hi, How to secure or configure Metabase URL with SSL, so that the URL served with the HTTPS requests.

Serve Metabase through HTTPS

I installed Metabase on DigitalOcean by using the following link: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/metabase. I already did a lot of research (for example this link: https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/operations-guide/customizing-jetty-webserver.html#using-https-with-metabase), but nothing helps. I can only serve it through port 3000 and HTTP. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks a lot!

According to these postings, there are 2 solutions.

Customizing the Metabase Jetty webserver

How To Secure Nginx with Let's Encrypt on Ubuntu 20.04 | DigitalOcean

You mentioned that jetty webserver is outdated in marketplace app.
Hence, which solution should I choose ?

I installed my metabase, following this guide.

Running Metabase on Debian as a service with nginx

Hence, current architecture is nginx(80) + metabase(3000).

My second question is :
If I choose second solution "setup ssl on nginx", nothing to do on metabase side ?

Looking forward to your kind consideration.

Best regards.

Hi @danchen327
Just setup Nginx to handle the certificate part, so it doesn't involve Metabase at all.
After you have switched to https, then update the Site URL in Admin > Settings > General.
