This has been fixed by #229!
@yuvipanda does #229 explicitly require purchasing a domain name from a registrar? (as explained https://zero-to-jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/v0.5-doc/security.html#https)
What I'd like to do is access the CLUSTER-IP
directly using https, rather than via the A record on a separate DNS provider? Is this even possible – apologies I'm new to this topic.
Example: http://<CLUSTER-IP>
works for me in a browser, but can I get https://<CLUSTER-IP>
to work for me via proxy
options in the config yaml files?
@masonlr yeah, it does require an external domain name purchased. This is because we use https://letsencrypt.org/ to provision HTTPS certificates, and they require a domain name. This is the case for most HTTPS certificate providers - they won't provide you HTTPS certificates for IPs.
CLUSTER-IP is also usually only accessible from inside the cluster, and (unless your cluster is configured in specific ways that most clusters are not) not accessible from the external world.
@yuvipanda thanks for this info. Apologies, I should have written EXTERNAL-IP
above, i.e. http://<EXTERNAL-IP>
works for me in a browser.
@yuvipanda just to clarify, if I follow the deployment instructions for the zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s repository I receive an EXTERNAL-IP
of the form (where letters are replaced with numbers)
mn.opq.rs.tu
This automatically sets up a domain name of the form
tu.rs.opq.mn.bc.googleusercontent.com
Should it be possible for me to pass this domain name to let's encrypt via yaml parameters:
proxy:
https:
hosts:
- tu.rs.opq.mn.bc.googleusercontent.com
letsencrypt:
contactEmail: my.email@example.com
Or, is this insufficient information for proving control of the tu.rs.opq.mn.bc.googleusercontent.com
domain?
Please document how to set up an https entry point for the hub server. Currently the server is accessed by default using http.
