Install SSL Letsencrypt on Centova Cast

by

Thanks for reading my post for “Install Centova Cast”

I was working on Radio Streaming Project for Alexa Skills. So I need SSL / HTTPS enabled for Centova Cast http://radio.domain.com:2199/

http://radio.domain.com:2199/ => https://radio.domain.com:2199/

Note: Please replace domain name “radio.domain.com” with your own domain.

Here are some helpful links from centova.com website

First I installed NGINX on port 80 with Letsencrypt SSL

# yum update
# yum install epel-release -y
# yum install nginx -y
# systemctl start nginx
# systemctl enable nginx

Then Lets Encrypt for NGINX on CentOS7
https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/centosrhel7-nginx

# yum -y install yum-utils
# yum-config-manager --enable rhui-REGION-rhel-server-extras rhui-REGION-rhel-server-optional
# yum install certbot-nginx

# certbot -i nginx -d radio.domain.com –server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

# certbot renew –dry-run

Crontab to renew SSL on CentOS 7 Nginx
0 0,12 * * * python -c ‘import random; import time; time.sleep(random.random() * 3600)’ && certbot renew

Find Lets Encrypt SSL Key files here
# ls /etc/letsencrypt/live/radio.domain.com
cert.pem chain.pem fullchain.pem privkey.pem README

But as I run below command it give error

Problem

# /usr/local/centovacast/sbin/setssl letsencrypt radio.domain.com
Installing custom SSL certificate …
cp: cannot stat ‘letsencrypt’: No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat ‘radio.domain.com’: No such file or directory

Done. Restart Centova Cast to apply these changes.

Solution

Centova Cast – Copyright 2010-2014, Centova Technologies Inc.
SSL configuration script

This script will configure the SSL certificate used by your Centova Cast
web interface.

To use your own SSL certificate:

setssl /path/to/private.key /path/to/certificate.pem

– /path/to/private.key specifies the full pathname to the private key
used to generate your SSL certificate
– /path/to/certificate.pem specifies the full pathname to your SSL
certificate itself

setssl /path/to/private.key /path/to/certificate.pem

# /usr/local/centovacast/sbin/setssl /etc/letsencrypt/live/radio.domain.com/privkey.pem /etc/letsencrypt/live/radio.domain.com/fullchain.pem

Installing custom SSL certificate …

Done. Restart Centova Cast to apply these changes.

# service centovacast restart

Now Centova Cast on SSL
https://radio.domain.com:2199/login/index.php

Forcing Users to Use SSL
# vi /usr/local/centovacast/etc/centovacast.conf
Edit REQUIRE_SSL=true
