Setting up HTTPS¶
Hasura GraphQL engine does not handle SSL/TLS for your API. That means, Hasura GraphQL engine cannot serve your API on an HTTPS URL.
You should use a reverse proxy (like Nginx, Caddy, Kong, Traefik etc.) or the cloud provider’s native load balancer SSL termination features to secure your API.
Sample configurations¶
Here are a few sample configurations for some popular proxies:
Nginx¶
Here is a sample nginx.conf to proxy requests to Hasura:
server {
listen 80;
server_name hasura.<my-domain.com>;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
}
Please note that setting up SSL is not covered in this guide. You can find more information at Nginx docs.
To serve Hasura with a URL prefix instead of a separate subdomain, use
location /hasura/ or similar.
Caddy¶
Here is a sample Caddyfile to proxy requests to Hasura:
hasura.<my-domain.com> {
proxy / http://localhost:8080
websocket
}
The sample Caddyfile for Caddy 2:
hasura.<my-domain.com> {
reverse_proxy localhost:8080
}
Caddy has SSL provisioning built-in with Let’s Encrypt. You can find the docs at Caddy website.
In order to serve at a URL prefix, use the following configuration:
<my-domain.com> {
proxy /hasura http://localhost:8080
websocket
without /hasura
}
