How to setup Let's Encrypt for Nginx on Ubuntu 18.04 (including IPv6, HTTP/2 and A+ SLL rating)

Virtual hosts

Let's say you want to host domains first.com and second.com.

Create folders for their files:

Laravel Horizon, redis-server, supervisord on Ubuntu server

Laravel 8.x, Horizon 5.x, Redis 6.x

Parepare application

Install and configure Laravel Horizon as instructed in docs
Make sure you can access the Horizon dashboard like - http://yourapp.com/horizon
For now it should show status as inactive on dashbaord

Install redis-server

Virtual Hosts on nginx (CSC309)

When hosting our web applications, we often have one public IP address (i.e., an IP address visible to the outside world) using which we want to host multiple web apps. For example, one may wants to host three different web apps respectively for example1.com, example2.com, and example1.com/images on the same machine using a single IP address.

How can we do that? Well, the good news is Internet browsers

(wherever it says url.com, use your server's domain or IP)

Login to new server as root, then add a deploy user

sudo useradd --create-home -s /bin/bash deploy
sudo adduser deploy sudo
sudo passwd deploy

And Update the new password

Intro

This is a basic collection of things I do when setting up a new headless ubuntu machine as a webserver. Following the steps below should give you a reasonable secure server with HTTP/2 support (including ALPN in chrome) and the fast NGINX server. I am happy to add things so leave a comment.

Basics

After creating the server (droplet on DigitalOcean) log in with

	# Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Server Setup for Laravel

	# Login as root user

	sudo su -


	# Update list of available packages

	apt update

	server {
	listen 80;

	server_name app.rehanmanzoor.me;
	charset utf-8;
	client_max_body_size 1M;

	location / {
	proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001;
	proxy_http_version 1.1;
