Running behind an Apache SSL Reverse Proxy
| Note: You must use the outside https address for the value at ROOT_URL in [[Section 3 |
Deploy-Rocket.Chat-without-docker#3-download-rocketchat]] above. This includes the https:// and leave off the port number. So instead of ROOT_URL=http://localhost:3000 use something like https://your_hostname.com |
Run this as root:
apt-get update
apt-get install apache2
a2enmod proxy_http
a2enmod proxy
a2enmod ssl
a2enmod proxy_wstunnel
a2enmod rewrite
