Lack of SSL

Rist

Hello. Nice panel you have here. However the main issue and a bit baffling is the lack of SSL. I haven't found anything in the official documentation (community version supposedly supports Let's Encrypt) and some of the posts in the community are related to old panel versions. I find it strange how there isn't even a self-signed option available, instead everything is currently done over insecure http connection. If I missed something here please let me know.

Rist Hey Rist,

SSL is of course supported and automatic - on first https request your domain receives a LE certificate, or you can set a custom ssl, docs: https://openpanel.com/docs/panel/domains/ssl/

stefan

terminal commands are also available to manage ssl: https://dev.openpanel.com/cli/domains.html#SSL

Sorry, I probably wasn't very specific. My question is related to OpenAdmin part of the panel. Both IP and subdomain access are going over insecure connection.

Rist

Ok, https finally worked after the restart of OpenAdmin UI. Maybe some sort of check or notification could be a good addition here when assigning the domain / subdomain for OpenAdmin. You could also consider adding an self-signed cert to be assigned to IP based access for OpenAdmin as majority of other panels are going with such approach (Virtualmin, Cyberpanel, aaPanel etc.) .

You probably missed the 'services need restart' button on top of the page - if you set a domain via OpenAdmin > Settings > General - after submit you do get a notification on top saying that service restart is needed:
demo

and if you've used terminal to set a domain, service is already restarted

If you think it would be clearer for new users, I can update the Settings updated message to mention this as well.

I got the notification about the required restart and done them both. However the https login refused to work until an additional restart of the UI service.
Yes, I do believe the additional info could be beneficial for new users.
