Intro

a transparent HTTPS termination proxy using letsencrypt with auto certification renewal, you may need to read more about LetsEncrypt from here,

How it works ?

httpsify is a https reverse proxy ...
[https request] --> httpsify --> [apache/nginx/nodejs/... etc]
but this isn't the point because there are many https offloaders,
but httpsify uses letsencrypt (https://letsencrypt.org/)
for automatically generating free and valid ssl certificates, as well as auto renewal of certs,
this web server by default uses HTTP/2 .
you can say that httpsify is just a http/2 & letsencrypt wrapper for any http web server with no hassle, it just works .

Features

# this is the simplest way to run httpsify
# this will run a httpsify instance listening on port 443 and passing the incoming requests to http://localhost
# and building valid signed cerificates for the specified domains [they must be valid domain names]
./httpsify --backend=http://localhost --domains="domain.tld,www.domain.tld,another.domain.tld"
# this command will tell you more ...
./httpsify --help
