Set up SSL certificate#

There are two ways to set up SSL certificates:

Register for the ZeroSSL service and set your API key. Since ZeroSSL provides an API, dashmate can update your certificates automatically. The free plan only provides 3 free certificates (or 3 renewals of 1 certificate). Other plans require paying with a credit card.
Obtain SSL certificates for your IP address using any available provider and upload certificate files. SSL Dragon and SuperbitHost are two options that accept cryptocurrency.

Choose which option works best for you and follow the relevant steps below to configure dashmate with your certificate.

ZeroSSL#

Register on https://zerossl.com/. We recommend not using your personal email address.
Log in and click Developer on the left sidebar.
Copy your ZeroSSL API key. Do not create a « New certificate ».

Set your ZeroSSL API key in dashmate:

dashmate config set platform.gateway.ssl.enabled true
dashmate config set platform.gateway.ssl.provider zerossl
dashmate config set platform.gateway.ssl.providerConfigs.zerossl.apiKey [YOUR-KEY]
dashmate ssl obtain

Files#

Update the dashmate config:

dashmate config set platform.gateway.ssl.enabled true
dashmate config set platform.gateway.ssl.provider file

Copy bundle.crt and private.key to the dashmate home directory $HOME/.dashmate/mainnet/platform/gateway/ssl

Start the node:
```
dashmate start
```
Make sure the node works properly by running the following status commands:
```
dashmate status
dashmate status core
