Apache with SSL Configuration

Disabling default configuration​

Firstly, let's remove the default Apache configuration from your server.

a2dissite 000-default.conf

After we've done that, we can make our configuration for Jexactyl to run.

Create configuration file​

Danger

Make sure to replace <domain> with your own domain in this config file.

Please also note that this configuration is for Apache with SSL enabled. If you want to use NGINX as a webserver, or do not want to use SSL, please refer to the other webserver instructions.

Note: When using Apache, make sure you have the libapache2-mod-php package installed or else PHP will not display on your webserver.

Make a file called panel.conf in /etc/apache2/sites-available and insert the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName <domain>
  
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
  RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L] 
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
  ServerName <domain>
  DocumentRoot "/var/www/jexactyl/public"

  AllowEncodedSlashes On
  
  php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
  php_value post_max_size 100M

  <Directory "/var/www/jexactyl/public">
    Require all granted
    AllowOverride all
  </Directory>

  SSLEngine on
  SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/<domain>/fullchain.pem
  SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/<domain>/privkey.pem
</VirtualHost>

Enabling configuration​

Firstly, let's link the file we've made to the directory which Apache uses for configs.

ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/panel.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/panel.conf

Then, we'll apply the settings Apache needs to host Jexactyl.

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2enmod ssl

Finally, we'll restart Apache in order to bring Jexactyl online.

systemctl restart apache2
