Build https gateway (optional)
In Tailchat, some services are strongly dependent on https, such as audio and video calls, embedding external https media resources and web pages, etc.
At the same time, for the safety of users(client to server), we highly recommend that Tailchat be provided externally as https service.
If you have no related experience, and only deploy Tailchat service on the same machine (without occupying 80/443 port), then we recommend swag from Tailchat Configuration begins.
You can see the original configuration in Github
Pull the required configuration file directly by the following command
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/msgbyte/tailchat/master/docker/swag.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/msgbyte/tailchat/master/docker/swag.env.example -O swag.env
mkdir config
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/msgbyte/tailchat/master/docker/config/nginx.conf -O ./config/nginx.conf
After completion, you should see the following three files in the current directory:
swag.ymlswag.envconfig/nginx.conf
Modify the content of swag.env, change the value of URL to the domain name, such as: URL=tailchat.example.com
The https protocol relies on the domain name for certificate verification, so it is necessary to assign a domain name in advance to point to the target server
The address of the domain name needs to create an A pointing record in the management background of the purchased domain name.
After assigning the domain name we can start the service.
docker compose -f ./swag.yml up -d
If everything goes well, the swag service has automatically applied for a certificate for you and started the reverse proxy service. At this time, if you visit https://tailchat.example.com in the browser, you can see the familiar The interface is already there.
