Akash with TLS Example

An example Akash deployment with TLS step by step example. We will use Ghost, a very simple web app, for the demo.

Deploy Ghost

Make sure to specify the hostname you control, in this example it is “ghost.akash.pro”. Set the “https” when setting the “url” environment variable – this will get picked by the Ghost blogging platform so it knows to serve these HTTPS links.

When you deploy with 80/tcp port exposed in Akash, the nginx-ingress-controller on the provider will automatically get 443/tcp exposed too. This makes Full TLS termination possible.

If you are not familiar with Akash deployments, visit the documentation for the desktop app Cloudmos Deploy as an easy way to get started.
