SSL

[ZanQ]

Hi there, I was attempting to add SSL to this boilerplate, but am seemingly having trouble connecting my frontend to the server, I'm getting a net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR.

Would someone be able to guide me on how to setup SSL for this boilerplate?

Thanks in Advance.

For those looking for help on how to setup SSL with this boilerplate, this is what I did to get it working:

In the index.js file:

var https = require('https');
var fs = require('fs');

//SSL Files
var httpsOptions = {
key: fs.readFileSync('./src/cert/privkey.pem'), //My path to the private key file
cert: fs.readFileSync('./src/cert/fullchain.pem'), //My path to the full chain file
ca: fs.readFileSync('./src/cert/chain.pem') //My path to the first chain file
}

let server;
server = https.createServer(httpsOptions, app); //This is where the server is initialized

mongoose.connect(config.mongoose.url, config.mongoose.options).then(() => {
logger.info('Connected to MongoDB');

/*Changed this part so it's no longer setting the server object as app.listen call, but invoking the server to start listening */
server.listen(config.port, () => {
logger.info(Listening to port ${config.port});
});

});
