Change letsencrypt challenge to https

[Ronny Laborius]

Hi,

to use the TLS letsencrypt feature, a challenge in http://{host} is sent to letsencrypt. In my setup, i have a nginx reverse proxy in front of the mailserver.

So all http request will be redirected to https. Is it possible to change the initial challenge from http to https ?

Thanks

Are you using ngnix-proxy container? You should set HTTPS=OFF

Please see working example https://gist.github.com/analogic/51fbe91b580d7913b72320f89bf994cc#file-docker-compose-yml

Reopen if you want to

I have done this ... The problem is the offload nginx in front of the mailserver redirects all to https

so this one

http://{host}/.well-known/acme-challenge/

is redirected to

https://{host}/.well-known/acme-challenge/

which is not available

You need to change settings of nginx in front of mailserver to not redirect, acme challenge http-01 requires token be accessible through HTTP...
