Path to DigitalOcean generated certificate files

Posted on March 31, 2020

I installed the InfluxDB TICK stack from DO Marketplace and made a certificate with the DigitalOcean admin panel.

To enable HTTPS in Chronograph (the Grafana like InfluxDB visualization platform), I need the paths to the certificate files as their documentation requires: https://docs.influxdata.com/chronograf/v1.3/administration/security-best-practices/#running-chronograf-with-tls

Where are those file? Can we get access to them?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

The SSL certificates provisioned using the DigitalOcean control panel are designed for use with DigitalOcean Load Balancers and are not directly accessible to users. This is due to the managed nature of the SSL service provided by DigitalOcean. As such, you wouldn’t be able to use these certificates for securing your InfluxDB TICK stack.

However, you can obtain your own SSL certificates and use them with your applications. One of the most common ways to do this is by using Let’s Encrypt, a free and open Certificate Authority. You can follow the steps on how to do that here:
