Web Server Control Panel Access Get the WebAdmin admin password: cat .litespeed_password Visit https://use_your_server_ip:7080 to access WebAdmin in a browser. /By default, WebAdmin uses port 7080. To allow access to 7080 from your IP(e.g. 1.2.3.4): ufw allow from 1.2.3.4 to any port 7080 You can also allow all IPs access to port 7080: ufw allow 7080 We suggest turning this port off once you''ve nished setup: ufw delete allow 7080 Django Administration Page /Run the following command in the project directory to setup an account and password: python3 manage.py createsuperuser Optional Setup Enable HTTPS Setting up an SSL certicate enables HTTPS on the web server, which secures the trafc between the server and the clients connecting to it. Certbot is a free and automated way to set up SSL certicates on a server. Step 1. Register Domain To use Certbot, you’ll need a registered domain name and DNS records: An A record from the domain (e.g., example.com ) to the server’s IP address An A record from the domain prefaced with www (e.g., www.example.com ) to the server’s IP address. Step 2. Add Domain to Listener Navigate to OpenLiteSpeed Web Server WebAdmin > Listeners, and add Your Domain to HTTP/HTTPS. /Step 3. Certbot Once the DNS records are set up, you can generate the SSL certicate. Be sure to substitute the correct domain name in the following command: certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/html/ -d example.com -d www.exampl If certicate verication is a success, you should nd your certicate les stored in /etc/letsencrypt/ Step 4. Set SSL for HTTPS Navigate to OpenLiteSpeed Web Server WebAdmin > Listeners > SSL, and edit the following three items: Private Key File = /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem Certicate File = /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem Chained Certicate = Yes Save and perform a Graceful Restart. Now your server should support TLS1.1, TLS 1.2, and TLS 1.3. Step 5. Redirect HTTP to HTTPS /HTTPS trafc on port 443 is already allowed through the rewall. After you set up HTTPS, you can optionally rewrite all HTTP trafc to HTTPS. Add the following rules to OpenLiteSpeed Web Server WebAdmin > Virtual Hosts > Rewrite > Rewrite Rules RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R,L] Method for Uploading Files You can serve les from the web server by adding them to the web root using SFTP or other tools.
