How to configure ssl with node

Question

I'm new Angular and Node Stuff. I'm trying to run my angular application on node along with https/ssl. I have installed following files using certbot

git clone https://github.com/certbot/certbot 

cert.pem -> ../../archive/mypleaks.com/cert1.pem
chain.pem -> ../../archive/mypleaks.com/chain1.pem
fullchain.pem -> ../../archive/mypleaks.com/fullchain1.pem
privkey.pem -> ../../archive/mypleaks.com/privkey1.pem

Then I converted cert.pem to key.pem and server.cert using below commands in ssl folder inside application.

sudo openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -new -nodes -keyout /etc/letsencrypt/live/mypleaks.com/cert.pem -out key.pem
sudo openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in key.pem -signkey /etc/letsencrypt/live/mypleaks.com/cert.pem -out server.crt

Then I followed this article link and configured prod.js

const port = process.env.PORT || 443;
const server = require('./dist/server');
var fs = require('fs'), 
https = require('https');
var options  = { 
key: fs.readFileSync('./ssl/key.pem'),
cert: fs.readFileSync('./ssl/server.crt')
};
var httpsServer = https.createServer(options, server.app).listen(port, () => {
console.log("Express server listening on port " + port);
});

After building project using npm run build:prod , when I'm running npm run prod it's below throwing error:-

> myPleaks@0.0.0 prod /Users/deraj/home/mypleaks-ui/myPleaks
> node prod.js

I tried Hard but couldn't fix the error. Please suggest me some solution.?

Answer 1

It seems that your pem files are invalid.

I never created that way, some time ago i was doing exactly what are you doing and I created that pem files following this:

You just need to choose your "software" and "system" and follow the tutorial.
