how to use ssl certificate

[morningstarsabrina]

Hello,

how to run nicegui with ssl (certificate,key) ?
I know uvicorn accept 'ssl_keyfile' and 'ssl_certfile' parameters, just like below

uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8000,  ssl_keyfile="./key.pem",  ssl_certfile="./cert.pem")

is it possible to do the same thing with 'ui.run()' ?

thanks

so I tried to run nicegui by using uvicorn.run() instead of ui.run() but I had a lot of errors. I think the problem is the app parameter. any idea how to do that ?

You can adapt the FastAPI example to start the server yourself:

import uvicorn
from fastapi import FastAPI
from nicegui import ui

# you need to create the FastAPI app yourself
app = FastAPI()

# normal NiceGUI code
ui.label('Hello!')

# replace ui.run with ui.run_with to connect NiceGUI with the app
ui.run_with(app)

# start uvicorn with the app
uvicorn.run(app, host='0.0.0.0', port=8000)

Nevertheless, we should think about adding SSL parameters (or **kwargs) to ui.run.

thanks that worked for me.
I agree about adding the SSL parameters to ui.run() because its very important feature

Can adding SSL parameters to ui.run be tracked to be implemented later please ?

Ok, done: #421.
