Nginx SSL via Let's Encrypt and acme.sh

This guide is intended to walk you through installation of a valid SSL on your server for your site at example.com. This example is using root user, you may need to use sudo if you encounter problems such as write permissions.

Pre-requisites

• Install acme.sh on your server. This will create a acme.sh folder in your home directory and more importantly create an everyday cron job to check and renew certificates if needed.
• Install nginx server (different per distibution so just make sure you have it up and running)

import sodium from "libsodium-wrappers";

// publicKey is from GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/secrets/public-key
// secretValue is the value you want to get encrypted
export async function encryptForGitHub(secretValue: string, publicKey: string) {
  await sodium.ready;

  // Convert the secret and key to a Uint8Array.
  const binkey = sodium.from_base64(publicKey, sodium.base64_variants.ORIGINAL);
  const binsec = sodium.from_string(secretValue);

Pre-condition

One day in your Laravel app, you were required to redirect all http requests to https but need to make a certain URL route accessible via http for a certain reason; perhaps a portion of your javascript code needs to redirect to http URL but it can't because redirection to secure URL to insecure is prohibited. Therefore, in cases like this, you need to just allow just one URL to make an http connection.

NOTE: There are obvious security implications here so don't just follow this blindly and understand if this is really the solution you're looking for. The nginx config can somehow be improved, I just don't have the time yet. It sure do look redundant.

Understanding and examples

• Redirect everything from http to https

First, go to https://<yourname>.sanity.studio (or to the url of your studio if it's hosted elsewhere). Then open the developer console (usually by one of the keyboard shortcuts Command+Option+I, F12 or Control+Shift+I depending on what browser/platform you are using)

1. Open the Sources tab
2. Find the app.bundle.js file in the sidebar tree view.
3. Hit the pretty print source button
4. Locate your schema types by searching (e.g. try searching for one of your custom types) it in the source view.
