i install PBS on it server but how can enable SSL i already have the ssl key but how can i get the web server to use them and if so where is the web rootdir and what is the web server in use i see apache2 is install but i been masked so i know it not running i do have access to the web site and the server is fully working just no SSL
 
hi,

SSL is enabled by default, the certificate is self signed.

i already have the ssl key but how can i get the web server to use them

the files are located in /etc/proxmox-backup/.

if you'd like to replace the certificate, you need to place them as proxy.key and proxy.pem and make sure the owners and permissions are like this:
Code:
-rw-r----- 1 root backup 3243 Jul 13 11:04 proxy.key
-rw-r----- 1 root backup 2130 Jul 13 11:04 proxy.pem
 
Thank you that was helpful but i install let encrypt and have and these re the key but which key replace which key

i have these
cert.pem
chain.pem
fullchain.pem
privkey.pem
 
fullchain.pem goes to proxy.pem

privkey.pem goes to proxy.key

don't forget to set the permissions and owners like above

afterwards restart the proxmox-backup-proxy service
 
ok it failed and i see this
