VivaciousPenguin66 might be. note that the webserver is actually acting as a reverse proxy for the fileserver, so you can actually shut off access to port 8081 and rely on the fact that <webserver-address>/files will be redirected to the fileserver (as long as you configure your ClearML SDK accordingly)
SuccessfulKoala55 I am not that familiar with AWS. Is that essentially a port forwarding service, where you have a secure end point that redirects to the actual server?
Understood.
SuccessfulKoala55 I point you to my disclaimer above......😬
SuccessfulKoala55 New issue on securing server ports opened on clearml-server repo.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......that makes sense,
Oh it's a load balancer, so it does that and more.
But I suppose the point holds though, it provides an end-point for external locations, and then handles the routing to the correct resources.
VivaciousPenguin66 note that for the fileserver, access is indeed public and is not controlled by access tokens
Hi VivaciousPenguin66
thanks for sharing, giving it a try now
after you set up webserver to point to 443 with HTTPS, what have you done with rest of http services clearml is using?
does weberver with 8080 remained accessible and your are directing to it in your ~clearml.conf ?
what about apiserver and file server? (8008 & 8081)
SuccessfulKoala55
SUCCESS!!!
This appears to be working.
Setup certifications us sudo certbot --nginx .
Then edit the default configuration file in /etc/nginx/sites-available
` server {
listen 80;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443;
server_name your-domain-name;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain-name/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain-name/privkey.pem;
ssl on;
ssl_session_cache builtin:1000 shared:SSL:10m;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!CAMELLIA:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
access_log /var/log/nginx/jenkins.access.log;
location / {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
# Fix the It appears that your reverse proxy set up is broken" error.
proxy_pass ` ` ;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_redirect ` ` ` ` ;
}
} `
Point your browser towards http://your-domain-name or https://your-domain-name will result in the browser being forwarded to port 8080 on the local host machine via port 443 SSL.
SuccessfulKoala55 WearyLeopard29 could this be a potential idea?
It appears here the setup is for apps on different ports, and it seems to me to be exactly the clearml problem?
So could extrapolate and put in an API app and a FILESERVER app description with the correct ports?

Hi VivaciousPenguin66 , I think someone here already tried that, but with some difficulty. We ourselves do that using ELB on AWS
VivaciousPenguin66 your docs was helpful, I got SSL running but my question remained
have you kept needed http services accessible and only running the authentication via https?api_server: "http://<my-clearml-server>:8008" web_server: " " files_server: "http://<my-clearml-server:8081"my current state is that the webserver is accessible via http and https, in 8080 & 443
I have changed the configuration file created by Certbot to listen on port 8080 instead of port 80, however, when I restart the NGINX service, I get errors relating to bindings.
server { listen 8080 default_server; listen [::]:8080 ipv6only=on default_server;
Restarting the service results in the following errors:

Hi VivaciousPenguin66 I was trying to do something similar, I was able to secure the webapp with something similar to this (the cert was on lb level), but were you able to secure the port for fileserver and api server ?
WearyLeopard29 no I wasn’t able to do that although I didn’t explicitly try.
I was wondering if this was as a high a security risk then the web portal?
Access is controlled by keys, whereas the web portal is not.
I admit I’m a data scientist, so any proper IT security person would probably end up a shivering wreck in the corner of the room if they saw some of my common security practises. I do try to be secure, but I am not sure how good I am at it.
Hurrah! Can I ask you to open a GitHub issue with these details, including any required installations? I'd love to add that to the documentation...
