  • Manually adding SSL certs in Nginx Proxy Manager

    A large part of the reason for my use of Nginx Proxy manager over vanilla NGINX, is that it has built-in Let’s Encrypt certificate requesting and renewing. This works perfectly for all my public facing services, and until recently, my homelab services. Before I dive into how I’ve fixed the problem I ran into, I…

  • Fixing TLS for wget in BusyBox

    I’ve been containerising my static websites with BusyBox (because it’s small), and in an earlier post showed how to even get the container to update parts of the site by reaching out with wget to download resources from elsewhere and saving them inside the container where we are serving the ‘static’ site from.

That’s been sort of manageable, but less than ideal. It also doesn’t work for my Australian domains. Since there’s strict rules about…

  • Installing SSL Certificates with Nginx on Docker

    When you’ve successfully got Nginx running in a Docker container, AND got your domain correctly pointing at your nascent website, you’re then going to want to set it up for encrypted, and therefore trusted, browsing with SSL. Certificates A couple of posts ago, I mentioned that it was simpler to let Porkbun be the authoritative…
