Configure SSL in standalone mode

[sandevins]

I have APISIX running as a docker container in standalone mode. SSL cannot work because there is no certificate matching the SNI. How can I add a certificate without the Admin API? Is there any configuration file where I can specify the [cert, key, sni] parameters?

Hey there, @sandevins! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have in mind. Let's tackle this SSL configuration together.

You can configure SSL in APISIX standalone mode without using the Admin API by editing the conf/apisix.yaml file. In standalone mode, APISIX loads configurations from this local YAML file. You can specify the SSL certificates by adding a ssls section in the file. Here is an example configuration:

ssls:  
    -  
        cert: |  
            -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

        snis:  
            - "yourdomain.com"  
#END

This configuration includes the certificate and private key directly in the YAML file, along with the snis field specifying the domain name. APISIX checks the conf/apisix.yaml file for changes every second and reloads the configuration if the file ends with #END, allowing for dynamic updates without restarting the service ^[1][2][3].
