hiveloom tls

Hiveloom does not run a TLS terminator itself. Instead, this command emits configuration for an external proxy. Today there is one subcommand:

  • hiveloom tls render — print a complete Caddyfile.

Synopsis

hiveloom tls <COMMAND>

hiveloom tls render

Prints a Caddyfile to stdout that:

  • Terminates TLS for --host using Let’s Encrypt.
  • Proxies all traffic to 127.0.0.1:<--upstream-port>.
  • Forwards X-Forwarded-Proto so OAuth metadata renders https:// URLs.

It does not install Caddy and does not apply the configuration — you pipe the output where you want it.

Synopsis

hiveloom tls render --host <HOST> --email <EMAIL> [OPTIONS]

Options

FlagDefaultDescription
--host <HOST>— (required)Public hostname. DNS must already point at the VPS — Hiveloom does not verify this.
--email <EMAIL>— (required)Contact email used by Let’s Encrypt for renewal notices.
--acme-env <production|staging>productionUse staging while testing to avoid Let’s Encrypt rate limits.
--upstream-port <PORT>3000Hiveloom upstream port Caddy should proxy to.

Examples

Render and write directly into Caddy’s config directory:

hiveloom tls render \
  --host hiveloom.example.com \
  --email [email protected] \
  | sudo tee /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
sudo systemctl reload caddy

Stage a certificate first to avoid Let’s Encrypt rate limits:

hiveloom tls render \
  --host hiveloom.example.com \
  --email [email protected] \
  --acme-env staging \
  > /tmp/Caddyfile.staging

Once staging works, re-render with --acme-env production.
