After configuring the TLS-certificate in the coder config I can no longer reach the web ui

After configuring the TLS-certificate in the coder config I can no longer reach the web ui. I am getting HTTP ERROR 400. Coder-setup: - I am running coder v0.14.1 as system proccess via the install script - To reach coder I am using nginx as a proxy server. It should only proxy request from https://coder.domain.com/ to http://127.0.0.1:3000/ (to reach the coder ui). It also redirects http://coder.domain.com/ to https://coder.domain.com/. The wildcard certificate is also installed here with nginx - My wildcard domain in coder is *.domain.com

Steps to reproduce: - I generated a wildcard certificate using certbot with the command

certbot certonly --manual -d *.domain.com -d domain.com --agree-tos --manual-public-ip-logging-ok --preferred-challenges dns-01 --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --register-unsafely-without-email --rsa-key-size 4096

- I put the certificate in the directory /etc/coder.d and gave file permission to the coder user - in the coder.env file I enabled the TLS certificate:

CODER_ACCESS_URL=https://coder.domain.com
CODER_WILDCARD_ACCESS_URL=*.domain.com

CODER_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:3000
CODER_PG_CONNECTION_URL=
CODER_TLS_CERT_FILE=/etc/coder.d/fullchain.pem
CODER_TLS_ENABLE=TRUE
CODER_TLS_KEY_FILE=/etc/coder.d/privkey.pem

CODER_ACCESS_URL=https://coder.domain.com
CODER_WILDCARD_ACCESS_URL=*.domain.com

CODER_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:3000
CODER_PG_CONNECTION_URL=
CODER_TLS_CERT_FILE=/etc/coder.d/fullchain.pem
CODER_TLS_ENABLE=TRUE
CODER_TLS_KEY_FILE=/etc/coder.d/privkey.pem

- I restart the coder service using systemctl restart coder - The process starts with no errors: service coder status:

Error: When I try to reach coder.domain.com I get the error HTTP 400: I wanted to start coder manualy to keep streaming logs but I can't do so as root user. Also I can't login as the coder user. Should I maybe create a new user and try running coder server?

Tom ThomsonOP•2y ago

With CODER_TLS_ENABLE=FALSE everything is working again.

Scott•2y ago

@Tom Thomson - working again, as in you can access your coder with TLS?

Tom ThomsonOP•2y ago

No, this disables tls and when I access my workspaces I don't have ssl certificates.

Scott•2y ago

Ah. Ok. Unfortunately, I'm not using TLS at the Coder level, so can't help much.

Tom ThomsonOP•2y ago

Thanks anyway

Atif•2y ago

Also, for my personal setup i use a wildcard certificate *.coder.domain.com If possible why don't you try with caddy? Coder has some documentations on setting that up.

Tom ThomsonOP•2y ago

With caddy it works
