Research direction
Start by reading nginx.config#L37 and listing the manual certificate, filesystem-location, and NGINX configuration steps described in the issue. Investigate whether scripts or dwyl/akey can address private keys, certificates, and environment variables. Done should mean that a concrete automation approach and its scope are agreed, but the issue does not currently define a specific implementation or test.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
At present, provisioning a VM instance requires several manual steps. Specifically:
- SSL/TLS Certificate Creation
- SSL/TLS Certificate location (on the file system)
- Updating the NGiNX config file to reflect the location of the Certificate see: nginx.config#L37
These manual steps ok initially because "automation" is _expensive when uncertainty is high (e.g. in a "startup") read: http://paulgraham.com/ds.html
However I counter that automating the steps (using scripts) is not that much more work than documenting them (in words for humans to read).
Possibly invest time in https://github.com/dwyl/akey ? ⏳ / 💰
Which would be a general purpose solution to the problem ... 🤔
