How to install SSL (Let’s Encrypt) for the HestiaCP admin panel

Posted on | by Oleg K.

When you go to panel url with port 8083 — you can see SSL error in your browser.

Here’s what you can do to fix that:

1. If you don’t have WEB domain — add WEB Domain in panel. I will use my domain codebe.com for example.

2. Go to WEB domain edit which one uses for panel:

Hestiacp add ssl to panel step 1

3. Enable SSL certificate for domain:

Hestiacp add ssl to panel step 2

4. Connect to your server over SSH.

5. Get information for changing hestia-nginx config. Copy full path to certificate and key for you domain, for example, I have this path:

/home/codebe/conf/web/codebe.com/ssl

And I’ve this files in current directory:

799435-codebe.com.crt
799435-codebe.com.key

6. Open file in your favorite text editor:

/usr/local/hestia/nginx/conf/nginx.conf

7. Change parameters for hestia-nginx server:

....
server {
    ....
    ssl_certificate      /home/codebe/conf/web/codebe.com/ssl/799435-codebe.com.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key  /home/codebe/conf/web/codebe.com/ssl/799435-codebe.com.key;
    ....
}
....

8. Restart HestiaCP (it’s working for Debian 11):

service hestia restart

9. Well done!
