I'm using Bottle as my webservice. Currently, its running on bottle's default wsgi server and handles HTTP requests. I want to encrypt my webservice and handle HTTPS requests. Can someone suggest a method for this. I tried running on cherrypy server, but the latest version is not supporting the pyOpenSSLAdapter.

bottle cherrypy https python-3.x

As you know bottle also supports Gunicorn. You can find SSL information at

Code example

import bottle
from bottle import Bottle

BASE = Bottle()


@BASE.route('/', ['GET'])
def index():
    return 'Index'


bottle.run(
    app=BASE, 
    host='0.0.0.0',
    port='8888',
    server='gunicorn',
    reloader=1,
    debug=1,
    keyfile='key.pem',
    certfile='cert.pem'
)

Quick way of achieving https through nginx reverse proxy:-

apt install nginx

Edit /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:-

server {
  listen 80 default_server; #listen on port 80
  listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

  server_name yourdomain.com www.yourdomain.com; #edit 'yourdomain' with your domain name
  root /var/www/html/; #edit to match wherever your bottle-py root folder is

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/; 
    #assuming configuration of bottle-py run() command is 127.0.0.1:8080
  }
}

HTTPS with certbot:-

Login to your domain name provider for 'yourdomain.com' and point 'A-records' to point to your server IP.

apt install certbot python-certbot-nginx
sudo certbot --nginx

Follow the on terminal instructions for certbot. Now bottle-py is served with https by a nginx reverse proxy.

Check https://yourdomain.com and confirm https valid certificate installation.

This is a quick way of doing it. Read more at nginx and certbot documentation.
