Hi! Today I published a guide on my website on how to expose one’s Umbrel node with BTCPay Server to the internet using a reverse SSL proxy. This will allow you to accept Bitcoin payments on your own domain. The link is: https://jorijn.com/installing-nginx-reverse-proxy-with-ssl-certificate-umbrel…

Hi, I have the same issue. Everything is working, with a few adaptations regarding the HTTP to HTTPS redirection that was not working on my side. I updated my BTCPayServer to the last version and my SSL certificate seems right but BTCPayServer always told me that I’m running on insecure connection.…

This helped me a lot - no ssl connection at all until Certbot ran successfully. corrected command for newer installs. sudo certbot --nginx -d btcpay.domain.com.au -m myemail@domain.com.au --agree-tos --https-port 15443 --http-01-port 15080 (Umbrel on ubuntu in virtualbox on macOS) Thanks

I also needed to comment out these two lines by adding # to force https. umbrel@umbrel:~ $ sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/btcpay #listen 15080; #listen [::]:15080; then restart server. umbrel@umbrel:~ $ sudo systemctl reload nginx.service

Thank you for this, I used the corrected command and then made this change: https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/issues/1428#issuecomment-1184603006 Didn’t need to comment out the HTTP port listens per your second post.

Did you figure out a solution to this, I have the exact problem and when doing that command get the same warning. Thank you!

Thanks @jorijn for the excellent guide, I went through all the steps but now I can not get to connect over https, http works fine but as you know I can not login. Any ideas, also I noticed that on the last part where we have to force https, if I use the listen 15080 it does not even work on http I …

Hi, how did you get the redirection to work?

Hello, I followed your guide, and got everything working so far, but one thing concerns me. I have a static IP address. Now when I type in my IP (or the Domain name I pointed to that IP) in the browser, im on the login page of the btcpay server. So that means everybody can reach that page. I can …

Hi @jorijn So far your SSL certificate installation has worked wonderfully. Unfortunately, I recently had to re-flash the SD card and then also set up the SSL again. Unfortunately I keep getting stuck at point 6 Certificate from letsencrypt. The error message is as follows: umbrel@umbrel:~ $ sudo…

This is a great guide, its been very helpful. I’m a super noob and have fumbled my way through this thanks to all the great info available. Q: I have two umbrel nodes and want to use one for a family member’s business (BTCPay server and lightning node) and one for personal business. How do I set up…
