# How to Configure HTTPS for Anything LLM AWS private deployment Instructions for manual https configuration after generating and running the aws cloudformation template (aws_build_from_source_no_credentials.json). Tested on following browsers: Firefox version 119, Chrome version 118, Edge 118. **Requirements** - Successful deployment of Amazon Linux 2023 EC2 instance with Docker container running Anything LLM - Admin priv to configure Elastic IP for EC2 instance via AWS Management Console UI - Admin priv to configure DNS services (i.e. AWS Route 53) via AWS Management Console UI - Admin priv to configure EC2 Security Group rules via AWS Management Console UI ## Step 1: Allocate and assign Elastic IP Address to your deployed EC2 instance 1. Follow AWS instructions on allocating EIP here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/elastic-ip-addresses-eip.html#using-instance-addressing-eips-allocating 2. Follow AWS instructions on assigning EIP to EC2 instance here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/elastic-ip-addresses-eip.html#using-instance-addressing-eips-associating ## Step 2: Configure DNS A record to resolve to the previously assigned EC2 instance via EIP These instructions assume that you already have a top-level domain configured and are using a subdomain to access AnythingLLM. 1. Follow AWS instructions on routing traffic to EC2 instance here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/routing-to-ec2-instance.html ## Step 3: Install and enable nginx These instructions are for CLI configuration and assume you are logged in to EC2 instance as the ec2-user. 1. $sudo yum install nginx -y 2. $sudo systemctl enable nginx && sudo systemctl start nginx ## Step 4: Install certbot These instructions are for CLI configuration and assume you are logged in to EC2 instance as the ec2-user. 1. $sudo yum install -y augeas-libs 2. $sudo python3 -m venv /opt/certbot/ 3. $sudo /opt/certbot/bin/pip install --upgrade pip 4. $sudo /opt/certbot/bin/pip install certbot certbot-nginx 5. $sudo ln -s /opt/certbot/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot ## Step 5: Configure temporary Inbound Traffic Rule for Security Group to certbot DNS verification 1. Follow AWS instructions on creating inbound rule (http port 80 0.0.0.0/0) for EC2 security group here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/working-with-security-groups.html#adding-security-group-rule ## Step 6: Comment out default http NGINX proxy configuration These instructions are for CLI configuration and assume you are logged in to EC2 instance as the ec2-user. 1. $sudo vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf 2. In the nginx.conf file, comment out the default server block configuration for http/port 80. It should look something like the following: # server { # listen 80; # listen [::]:80; # server_name _; # root /usr/share/nginx/html; # # # Load configuration files for the default server block. # include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf; # # error_page 404 /404.html; # location = /404.html { # } # # error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; # location = /50x.html { # } # } 3. Enter ':wq' to save the changes to the nginx default config ## Step 7: Create simple http proxy configuration for AnythingLLM These instructions are for CLI configuration and assume you are logged in to EC2 instance as the ec2-user. 1. $sudo vi /etc/nginx/conf.d/anything.conf 2. Add the following configuration ensuring that you add your FQDN:. server { listen 80; server_name [insert FQDN here]; location / { proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:3001; } } 3. Enter ':wq' to save the changes to the anything config file ## Step 8: Test nginx http proxy config and restart nginx service These instructions are for CLI configuration and assume you are logged in to EC2 instance as the ec2-user. 1. $sudo nginx -t 2. $sudo systemctl restart nginx 3. Navigate to http://FQDN in a browser and you should be proxied to the AnythingLLM web UI. ## Step 9: Generate/install cert These instructions are for CLI configuration and assume you are logged in to EC2 instance as the ec2-user. 1. $sudo certbot --nginx -d [Insert FQDN here] Example command: $sudo certbot --nginx -d anythingllm.exampleorganization.org This command will generate the appropriate certificate files, write the files to /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourFQDN, and make updates to the nginx configuration file for anythingllm locdated at /etc/nginx/conf.d/anything.llm 3. Enter the email address you would like to use for updates. 4. Accept the terms of service. 5. Accept or decline to recieve communication from letsencrypt. ## Step 10: Test Cert installation 1. $sudo cat /etc/nginx/conf.d/anything.conf Your should see a completely updated configuration that includes https/443 and a redirect configuration for http/80. 2. Navigate to https://FQDN in a browser and you should be proxied to the AnythingLLM web UI. ## Step 11: (Optional) Remove temporary Inbound Traffic Rule for Security Group to certbot DNS verification 1. Follow AWS instructions on deleting inbound rule (http port 80 0.0.0.0/0) for EC2 security group here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/working-with-security-groups.html#deleting-security-group-rule
