+# SSL or HTTPS
+
+The other day I successfully set up SSL for the LNBits reverse proxy. Here is
+what I did:
+
+- Downloaded the keys for my domain certificates from porkbun.
+- Made the certs available inside the nginx container.
+- Added the following stuff in the config file for nginx.
+
+```
+server {
+    listen 80;
+    server_name lnbits.contrapeso.xyz;
+    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
+}
+
+server {
+    listen 443 ssl;
+    server_name lnbits.contrapeso.xyz;
+    ssl_certificate /certs/domain.cert.pem;
+    ssl_certificate_key /certs/private.key.pem;
+    ssl_trusted_certificate /certs/intermediate.cert.pem;
+
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://100.93.54.53:3007;
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_redirect off;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+- Profit! http gets forbidden with the first block, and https works with the
+  second bit.
