Deploy the web applications

edoc platform is provided as a web-based application under port 443. The applications provided can be accessed in common browsers and from servers in the network using the URL: https://<fqdn>/<route>

Be sure that all applications and servers can reach edoc platform using the specified fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and port 443.

Things to know

You must also enable port 80 so that browsers that first establish an unencrypted connection (http) after specifying a domain are automatically forwarded to an encrypted connection (https).

The Strict-Transport-Security response header is also set automatically so that browsers only establish an encrypted connection.

edoc platform cannot be used under port 80 with http.

Traefik acts as a reverse proxy in Kubernetes. Traefik is a modern, cloud-native reverse proxy and load balancing tool that has been specially developed for containerized environments such as Docker, Kubernetes, and other microservice architectures.

To encrypt the connection, you must specify your own TLS certificate in edoc system control.

Alternatively, you can use a certificate automatically generated with Let's Encrypt for publicly accessible servers.

Let's Encrypt is a free, open certification authority with which valid certificates can be issued automatically.

For information about configuration options for certificates see the edoc system control guide.
