Enable https in cartodb installation - api

Question

I am using this image https://github.com/sverhoeven/docker-cartodb to start my own container, and then created a reverse proxy by nginx to enable ssl.
The ssl website pulls up but the problem is carto does not detect the change in protocol, and i am getting mixed content warning due to api requests by cbd.js on HTTP protocol.
for example: http://carto.gq/user/dev/api/v1/viz/?tag_name=&q=&page=1&type=&exclude_shared=false&per_page=20&locked=&tags=&shared=no&only_liked=false&order=updated_at&types=table&exclude_raster=true.
What file I should to change the protocol of api calls, here is my installation https://carto.gq .

Answer 1

Enable SSL
Enable Nginx on the server and redirect all traffic to ssl (ubuntu):
Install Nginx
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nginx
Install certbot-nginx
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-certbot-nginx
Now follow the instructions on screen as they appear
Edit Nginx File
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Now Find the existing server_name line and replace the underscore, _, with
your domain name:
server_name example.com www.example.com;
Now replace the block below:
location / {
…………………………
}
With this given below and as nginx-change.txt in docs folder
client_max_body_size 150M;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
#try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8088;
}
Then, verify the syntax and reload Nginx to load the new configuration.
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl reload nginx
Skip Firewall for now will add later.
Obtaining an SSL Certificate
sudo certbot --nginx -d carto.ml -d www.carto.ml
Follow the instructions on Screen after this is done over
Enable SSL on a carto container, after it is running on 8088 internal port:
Start container
docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:8088:80 -h carto.ml sandeepgadhwal/cartodb
Get Container ID
docker ps -a
example: 99718a6233b9
Connect to container bash
docker exec -it {containerid} /bin/bash
example: docker exec -it ac2ce1a67df3 /bin/bash
Install missing components
apt-get install nano
Edit baseurl in rails file.
nano cartodb/app/models/user/user_decorator.rb
you’ll need to edit line 100,
replace base_url: public_url, with base_url: public_url.sub('http','https')
This will update the user_data.base_urlglobal which cdb.js uses to build
many of the api calls
Edit Api protocols and portd in app_config.yml you can find the same in
docker-cartodb folder.
nano /cartodb/config/app_config.yml
you’ll need to edit line 35,37,40,42,46,49,51,54,258,,259,261,262.
replace port to 443 or https port of your server, replace http to https
This will update the api_urls for sql and maps Api.
get out of editor and the bash
Press ctrl + c to exit
Confirm write to file by pressing Y and pressing enter
Then to exit bash
press ctrl + q + p
Restart Container
docker restart {containerid}
