Setup https access for RTL

Forward the ports 80 and 3002 on the router to the device running RTL.
Allow the ports through the firewall of the device.

Install Nginx: https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/tutorials/install/

Install certbot to acquire the ssl certificate: https://certbot.eff.org

Add the following line at the very top of nginx.conf: load_module /usr/lib/nginx/modules/ngx_stream_module.so;

Sample configuration to be inserted in the nginx.conf (adjust the path and filename of your certificate and key):

stream {
        upstream RTL {
                server 127.0.0.1:3000;
        }

        server {
                listen 3002 ssl;
                proxy_pass RTL;

                ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOUR_DOMAIN/fullchain.pem;
                ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOUR_DOMAIN/privkey.pem;
                ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:1m;
                ssl_session_timeout 4h;
                ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
                ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
        }
}

Restart Nginx with the new configuration and connect to RTL over https on the port 3002.
