## HTTPS (Let’s Encrypt, Python-only)
This server can be served over HTTPS by running `uvicorn` with `--ssl-certfile` and `--ssl-keyfile`.
To obtain/renew a trusted cert from Let’s Encrypt **without installing system certbot**, this repo includes a small wrapper that uses the **`certbot` Python package**.
### 1) Issue a certificate (HTTP-01 standalone)
Requirements:
- Your domain’s DNS `A/AAAA` records must point to this machine.
- Port **80** must be reachable from the internet for the ACME challenge.
```bash
python3 -m pip install -r python_video_server/requirements.txt
# Staging by default (recommended first). Add --production when it works.
sudo -E python3 -m python_video_server.letsencrypt certonly \
--email [email protected] \
--domains example.com,www.example.com
```
Certificates will be written under:
- `python_video_server/certs/config/live/<primary-domain>/fullchain.pem`
- `python_video_server/certs/config/live/<primary-domain>/privkey.pem`
### 2) Run the video server on 443 with TLS
```bash
sudo -E uvicorn python_video_server.server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 443 \
--ssl-certfile python_video_server/certs/config/live/example.com/fullchain.pem \
--ssl-keyfile python_video_server/certs/config/live/example.com/privkey.pem
```
Notes:
- Binding to ports **80/443** usually requires `sudo` (or a reverse proxy / port forwarding).
- If you’re behind a proxy/ingress, keep sending `X-Forwarded-Proto: https` so `/api/video/session` sets `Secure` cookies correctly.
### 3) Renew certificates
```bash
# Dry-run renewal (safe)
sudo -E python3 -m python_video_server.letsencrypt renew --dry-run
# Actual renew (typically run via cron/systemd timer)
sudo -E python3 -m python_video_server.letsencrypt renew --production
```
## Endpoints
- `POST /api/video/session`
