SSL No 2





Hom



Let’s Encrypt SSL, Nginx, MUP → Deployment (Meteor)


Nginx used for SSL setup


Let’s Encrypt free SSL certificate:

Use the instructions on this page to use OpenSSL to create your certificate signing request (CSR) and then to install your SSL certificate on your Nginx server. Restart Note: After you've installed your SSL/TLS certificate and configured the server to use it, you must restart your Nginx instance.
Let’s start by generating

 Add a A Record in your domain’s DNS Settings







Setting up Let’s Encrypt

  • ssh into your server console and run following commands
$ wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
$ chmod a+x certbot-auto
$ ./certbot-auto certonly -d yourdomain.com --standalone







After successful execution of the last command you can see your Certificate & Key generated in /etc/letsencrypt/yourdomain.com

Setting up Nginx

  • Let’s install nginx which will be our proxy server
$ sudo apt-get install nginx
  • Use nano to create / edit your domain’s nginx settings:
$ sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/yourdomain.com.conf
Below is the code that tells the server what to do. We listen to port 80 for domain.com and 301 redirect that to https://yourdomain.com, append the requested uri and listen on port 443 for our ssl set up.






Now check your nginx settings. 

 Run:  $ sudo nginx -t

That should return
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

If it returns an error, nginx will tell you which file and line number contains the error. Simply sudo nano to edit the file at the path name.

Now you have to restart nginx and you’ll be up and running.

 $ sudo service nginx restart

 Setting up MUP
Installing mup
$ npm install -g mup
You can create a directory .deploy in your project and initialize MUP
$ mkdir .deploy
$ mup init
After mup init following file will be generated and then you can edit it according to your needs.






MUP Config

yourdomain.com.conf file
server {
   ...
   location {
      ...
      proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
      ...
   }
   ...
}
mup.js
meteor {
   ...
   env {
      ...
      PORT: 3000,
      ROOT_URL: http://localhost
      ...
   }
   ...
}
Keep in mind we will have to use the same ROOT_URL & PORT in MUP env and yourdomain.com.conf file
$ mup setup







$ mup deploy







Your app is deployed and you can access it on https://yourdomain.com.

Creating new project Create a new meteor project using the following command: meteor create appName Choose an application name of your choice. Once Meteor is done creating the project, you will see the directories and files created by Meteor in the folder name.

Meteor Mongodb Mup Commands

docker exec -it mongodb mongo docker cp mongodb:dump/ce5-meteor . If deployed with mup, you are in luck. You can find the steps here:  https://github.com/xpressabhi/mup-data-backup Here are the steps again: MongoDB Data Backup deployed via mup These commands run well only if meteor deployed with mup tool. Mup creates docker for mongodb hence taking backup becomes easy with these commands. Backup Take backup of running app data from docker then copy to local folder out of docker. docker exec -it mongodb mongodump --archive= /root/m ongodump. gz --gzip docker cp mongodb : /root/m ongodump. gz mongodump_$ (date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S). gz Copy backup to server Move data to another server/local machine or a backup location scp /path/to/dumpfile root@ serverip : /path/ to/backup Delete old data from meteor deployment Get into mongo console running in docker then drop current database before getting new data. docker exec -it mongodb mongo appName db. runCommand ( { dropDatabase : 1 } ) ...
