HTTPS / Reverse Proxy Setup

This is the recommended production setup.

Without HTTPS:

• Microphone access may fail
• Audio is unencrypted
• Browsers may block functionality

Why HTTPS is Required

Modern browsers require a secure context for:

• Microphone access
• WebRTC functionality

HTTP (http://) is considered insecure.

Recommended Approach

Run SimpleVoiceGeyser on: 127.0.0.1:8080 (HTTP)

Then expose it via a reverse proxy:

https://yourdomain.com

Example: Nginx Configuration

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name yourdomain.com;

    ssl_certificate /path/to/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/privkey.pem;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;

        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

        proxy_set_header Host $host;
    }
}

Important Notes

WebSocket support must be enabled

Do NOT remove:

proxy_set_header Upgrade proxy_set_header Connection SSL Certificates

##Use Let’s Encrypt:

• Free
• Auto-renewable
• Works with Nginx, Caddy, etc.

Alternative: Caddy (Simpler)

yourdomain.com { reverse_proxy localhost:8080 }

Caddy automatically handles HTTPS.

Result

Users connect via:

https://yourdomain.com

Instead of:

http://:8080
