# Setting Up HTTPS for Gitea with Traefik
This guide explains how to configure Gitea with proper HTTPS using Traefik as a reverse proxy with automatic certificate management via Let's Encrypt.
## Prerequisites
- A domain name pointing to your server (currently using `bee8333.ddns.net`)
- Ports 80 and 443 open and forwarded to your server
- Docker and Docker Compose installed
## Configuration Steps
1. **Update email address in docker-compose.yml**
Edit the `docker-compose.yml` file and replace `your-email@example.com` with your actual email address. Let's Encrypt will use this for certificate expiration notifications:
```yaml
--certificatesresolvers.letsencrypt.acme.email=your-email@example.com
```
2. **Start the services**
```bash
docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d
```
3. **Check the status**
```bash
docker-compose ps
```
All services should be running without errors.
## How It Works
- **Traefik** acts as a reverse proxy, handling incoming HTTP/HTTPS traffic
- Automatically redirects HTTP to HTTPS
- Obtains and renews SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt
- Routes requests to the appropriate containers based on domain name
## Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues:
1. **Check Traefik logs**
```bash
docker-compose logs traefik
```
2. **Check Gitea logs**
```bash
docker-compose logs server
```
3. **Verify DNS settings**
Make sure your domain (`bee8333.ddns.net`) correctly points to your server's IP address.
4. **Check firewall settings**
Ensure ports 80 and 443 are open and properly forwarded to your server.
## Git Client Configuration
When pushing to your Gitea repository from your local machine, you'll now be using HTTPS with a valid certificate. Use the following URL format:
```
https://bee8333.ddns.net/username/repository.git
```
## SSH Access
SSH access is still available on port 222. Use the following format in your SSH config or Git command:
```
ssh://git@bee8333.ddns.net:222/username/repository.git
```
