Enable https in a rails app on a thin server

问题

I have a rails app running a thin server on heroku. It currently uses http. I would like to use https for bot development and production. Where do I begin to do this.

I have looked at this railscast where they show how to use a POW server. I dont want to use a POW server, I want to use a Thin server.

I also looked here: But here they assume that you have open ssl insatlled.

I haven't found any place which shows how to run https on a thin server from scratch.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks

Try this:

$ thin start --ssl

You will need a separate instance if you want both ssl and non-ssl ports.

I don't know if you need it, but this helped me:

  thin start --ssl --ssl-verify --ssl-key-file ssllocal/server.key
--ssl-cert-file ssllocal/server.crt

edit path to ssl key and ssl fild. For example my keys were in paypal folder, so command was

    thin start --ssl --ssl-verify --ssl-key-file paypal/server.key
--ssl-cert-file paypal/server.crt

If you will have problems you can look at this post - Thin with SSL support and ruby-debug.

Hope this helps.

You should to use thin to do it:

$ sudo apt-get install thin

And add this line in config/application.rb

config.force_ssl = true

Then run app on thin with command line:

$ thin start --ssl
