# HTTPS setup to encrypt connections to Gitea
|
|
|
|
## Using built-in server
|
|
|
|
Before you enable HTTPS make sure that you have valid SSL/TLS certificates.
|
|
You could use self-generated certificates for evaluation and testing. Please run `gitea cert --host [HOST]` to generate a self signed certificate.
|
|
|
|
To use Gitea's built-in HTTPS support you must change your `app.ini` file:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
[server]
|
|
PROTOCOL=https
|
|
ROOT_URL = `https://git.example.com:3000/`
|
|
HTTP_PORT = 3000
|
|
CERT_FILE = cert.pem
|
|
KEY_FILE = key.pem
|
|
```
|
|
To learn more about the config values, please checkout the [Config Cheat Sheet](../config-cheat-sheet#server).
|
|
|
|
## Using reverse proxy
|
|
|
|
Setup up your reverse proxy like shown in the [reverse proxy guide](../reverse-proxies).
|
|
|
|
After that, enable HTTPS by following one of these guides:
|
|
|
|
* [nginx](https//nginx.org/en/docs/http/configuring_https_servers.html)
|
|
* [apache2/httpd](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/ssl/ssl_howto.html)
|
|
* [caddy](https://caddyserver.com/docs/tls)
|
|
|
|
Note: You connection between your reverse proxy and gitea might be unencrypted. To encrypt it too follow the [built-in server guide](#using-built-in-server) and change
|
|
the proxy url to `https://[URL]`.
