Apache

If you're already using Apache as a web server you can configure it as a reverse proxy in front of your Owncast server to enable SSL. The following configuration example requires Apache >= 2.4.47.

Ensure required Apache modules are enabled using the a2enmod command.

$ sudo a2enmod proxy proxy_http ssl
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName live.example.com
ServerAdmin admin@example.com

Redirect permanent / https://live.example.com

</VirtualHost>

# live-le-ssl.conf

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName live.example.com
ServerAdmin admin@example.com

ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode

ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ upgrade=websocket
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/

RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Port "443"

SSLCertificateFile /path/to/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/privkey.pem
