How to Setup HTTPS/SSL/TLS on Google Cloud Platform 

Listen UP! GCP changed how health checks work - I NOW SUGGEST USING a TCP Health Check instead of HTTP. This should resolve some issues folks were seeing.

Hi, how is it that I have a problem with the subfolders not loading? I get an error: "The requested URL / cosmos_2020 / users / login was not found on this server." ... please help

i have a Lab from which am access as https but it keeps saying that there is a cryptocurrency prob and stop the services ! how to secure https to my VM Lab ?

Can internal http be turned into https ? see cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/l7-internal/

Hello Tim, I registered 3 domains at my google managed certificate; I want to change one of them, for what I think I have to extrac it from the certificate and from my load balancer, right? My question is would it be enough deleting the zone I created for this domain I want to extract? Thanks in advanced.

Mate, i have a simple Lab to access but cryptocurrency prob still there where GCP stop my VM. how to secure the https connection ?

Hey thank you so much again for the explanation about this topic. It worked perfectly for me. And if you let me ask you another question would be great. So, do you have a video, content, resources, or something that explain how to redirect the http requests to https on the load balancer? EDIT: For those looking at the same this guide is pretty straightforward cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/https/setting-up-http-https-redirect

Can I use Kubernet instead of app engine?

If i get an organization ssl; I can upload it with the same steps to get ov ssl?

I have a static website in the cloud storage browser. Just html, css, and images. Will this work or do I need to do any additional steps to connect the VM to my bucket?

Break dows like this enormously helpful. I'm working hard to teach myself these things while going to school for design. The Prob with the school doesn't teach you how to maneuver the computer and set things up by yourself. But teaching myself online, everyone assumes you know the simple things, for example, if I need to get to my PHP for WordPress because I changed the URL on my site. So basically, The instructions say it's easy (talk about make me feel bad). You need to go in my PHP in ssh type in code, then I'm good. But............. How do I get to the PHP and maneuver while I'm in there? These are the things that make working online extremely difficult. Customer Service forget about it, on most platforms; WordPress has no contact. They have forms, and people send you right back to the confusing directions. All I'm saying is thank you so so much for your videos. You are certainly helping people.

Thx

The VM with the NGINX running if someone hits that public IP that will still not be in HTTPS.. How do you make the VM not be public available?

Hello mate, can you make tutorial, how to ponting a domain with google domain because i'm so confuse with google cloud the domain bnsholiday.com screnshoot Vm prnt.sc/ukudm8 Cloud DNS prnt.sc/ukue6f External Ip prnt.sc/ukufgt Google Domain NS prnt.sc/ukueek Google Domain Record prnt.sc/ukuep7 can you see, what problem with this

the load balancer editor now is different, I tried to adapt your tutorial using this new interface but failed, I tried to navigate the load balancer's STATIC IP using my browser but didn't get any response,

Thank you so much for these 2 tuts, I have 2vms 1.Win server OS for web app 2.linux for DB - I want to access the application through a domain instade of the vm static IP everything worked fine ( instance group, LB frontend, SSL cert., cloud DNS .. etc) [ the problem is my backend service status is unhealthy ] http and https rules IP : 0.0.0.0/0 TCP : 80,442 when I hit my vm static ip address directly the app works fine.

Hello, I'm from PERU, my name is JEFFERSON JOB, I have a VM instance running on Google Platform and I just bought a domain, I saw your tutorials on the web but I don't speak much English, please maybe you can make a tutorial or you can help me put https to my platform, I hope you respond thanks.

Thank you so much, this is very helpful

Thank you so much. This saved me a lot of time.

Hi, I have followed every step but getting error - no healthy upstream Can you please suggest what will be the cause and solution?

Works exactly as described. Saved me lots of time and effort! Thank you for your detailed introduction! Just some tips, you can use subdomain instead of the main domain for the load balancer certificate, and add type-A dns mapping in your domain provider(namecheap) instead of GCP. Then your main domain can still point to digital ocean but the subdomain can point to GCP load balancer.

What I am facing is thatmy wordpress site external ip and my ssl external ip are different and if I set the dns to the wordpress instance the site doesn't show if I type the url but if i type ip addresses they both ip addresses works , any suggestions of how to fix the issue o have ssl setup

great tutorial man! do you have anything on how to import a domains.google.com ssl cert to the VM? I wish google domains was better integrated with GCP

To be honest you got a nice tutorial and very good explanations as to what happens behind the scene, you've also given really clear steps on how to chieve this. Thing is I followed these steps but it still failed with same error @rudranil chakrabortty had earlier stated, I researched on this and found out this problem is unique and many persons have faced same in the past, it had to deal with the "external IP" which the frontend resolves to. There are couple of open issues on google support with regards this, no solution has been profound to this yet. Watching your vid however, I can't say how yours seem to work pretty well. Since I couldn't get mine working with the steps you explained in your vids, I had to explore other means, and it worked for me.

Very helpful, many thanks Macgyver.

The health check was fine when I initially set it up but now it's unhealthy and I can't fix it. Please help me with it. Thanks in advance

My website already has trouble signing in. Does the tutorial still work?

Thank you so much! Finally 'll forget about buying and configurating mannually the certs

Can you help me?

This has to be the best & clearest explanation. Thank you so much

Excellent, it was a great help, and thanks for the nice intro

hi, under ssh trying to install nginx there is an error code (1) how do i take it further? I have an bitnami wordpress.... could this be an msmatch?

How do I ADD SSL to an existing website on Google Cloud?

you are best bro I am very helpful our video :)

This does not work with a wordpress instance (because it is managed and cannot be added to an unmanaged instance group) is there any solution? (I don't want use other certificate like lets encrypt, I would to use google certificate)

Thank you to make this video

Will creating a new VM instance cost something?

Where can I buy you a coffee? You saved my life

Hello Macgyver, Thanks for sharing! Will, u pls kindly make a video on WordPress security on different levels respectively from infrastructure, operating software, software, apps, user PPI ... etc., the whole package on security ... Thanks in advance!!!

Great Job bro, My web working.

and for this convenience, what is the price per hour for load balancing ?

awesome content, liked & subs

I can not even begin to explain how grateful I am. I deployed flask app and I have been trying to sort this out for days. Thank you!

This is how it's done. You start off with an illustration!

this is a GREAT vid. If you are using google domains make sure to add an 'a' record that points to your public ip address from the load balancer.

Excellent, thanks heaps.

Amazing video!! Thank you so much

So just to re-enstate my instance with the working WordPress install, I have had to delete everything i.e Instance group, Load Balancer, etc etc, but I still receive error > @Macgyver: Please assist

Thankyou!

Crack, thanks!

How do I configure backend api with https. Example api.whimsical.ai?

I performed all the steps and implemented SSL. But I am now unable to implement Canonical on my website, also all the internal links have converted to IP addresses rather than being the normal URLs. What can be done about that? Please help.

Sorry sir but I still haven't seen your response to the Error 404. Please treat as urgent

this is too hard

Awesome!!

was a rough start but you delivered! Thanks for the set up, and thanks for leaving that last part as well so we can see what causes the error and what we can do or expect to fix them

It is dum idea to set ssl certificate compute engine. You should look at heroku. The way they do is very simple to set up ssl certificate within a few seconds.

Hi. Do you have any suggestions for what virtual machine is the best? Could you make a video for how to code the site? I took a web design class. We learned how to use HTML, CSS, and javascript, but those skills are dying because I don't know how to use them on the sites that I am building or where to start. When you changed the name at the top if I remember you used HTML, is there a way to hook all three languages up to design the site? I love your channel. Help the lost and confused, lol.

Thank you so much. It help me a lot. Where can I find theory/books of all this???

I don't know if it's just me but I am never given an option to add any of my existing instances to a new unmanaged group - which made this tutorial hard to follow along with. I feel I get the concept though and tried just recreating my setup inside of one of their Managed Groups and after a ton of work figuring out the whole cloud server exit hook to rename the hostname of the so call managed instance I was able to get IP_ADDRESS:2083 IP_ADRESS:2087 working but pointing the DNS records of domain.com to the load balancer public IP address just gave me 404 errors and ER__EmptyRespone It's made for a miserable week if you know what I mean

i am getting this error ' 404. That’s an error. The requested URL / was not found on this server. That’s all we know.' kindly help

sir example domain issue occurs during ssl certificate what should now i do to recover my website

Hi! Please, tell how to allow HTTP & HTTPS Traffic in a Firewall, if those options are freeze? Thank you!

I did all as you show. It doesn't work. Even when I enter static PI of balancer into browser - it gives 404

Sir i need how to install ssl in WordPress installed instance... because it won't show the wp instance in a instance group... I already msg you on instagram...

Hi, Thank you for explaining how this internally works in this video. I tried your process to get the certificate, but it is not working. I have my server deployed using Click to deploy WordPress. Now, I did all the instance group, load balancer creation. Then, I edited the A name to point to the load balancer IP. It was previously pointing to the HTTP: IP that I got while installing the click to deploy VM. I also have a CName pointing to www So, after updating the A name, I see that when I type in the website name in the browser, I get an error, page not found

You are so handsome will u marry me❤️❤️❤️

Took away my down vote. This is a good instructional video. My problem was with the App I was using, Moodle. It was jacking up my https/http redirection. So When I went past https//billandteds.com/moodle to //billandteds/moodle/login at that point some of my content wasn't using ssl. It took me awhile to realize it was moodle bc I didn't know how to read the google loadbalancer logs which honestly were pretty bad.
