Setup https access for RTL

Forward the ports 80 and 3002 on the router to the device running RTL. Allow the ports through the firewall of the device.

Install Nginx: https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/tutorials/install/ On Debian based distros: $> sudo apt install nginx

nginx default config file is at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. You will need it.

Install, if needed, openssl On Debian based distros: $> sudo apt install openssl

Create a self certificate with openssl $> openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -x509 -sha512 -days 365 -nodes -out /path/to/some/folder/rtl-cert.crt -keyout /path/to/some/folder/rtl-cert.key

Sample configuration to be inserted in the nginx.conf (adjust the path and filename of your certificate and key):

stream {
        upstream RTL {
                server 127.0.0.1:3000;
        }

        server {
                listen 3002 ssl;
                proxy_pass RTL;

                ssl_certificate /path/to/some/folder/rtl-cert.crt;
                ssl_certificate_key /path/to/some/folder/rtl-cert.key;
                ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:1m;
                ssl_session_timeout 4h;
                ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; # this line works for me with only TLSv1.2
                ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
        }
}

Restart Nginx with the new configuration and connect to RTL over https on the port 3002. On Debian based distros: $> sudo systemctl restart nginx
