Use firebase hosting ssl with aws node server

Question

I am currently hosting my site with Firebase and have created a elastic beanstalk node.js express server to query API's.

(Not using Firebase functions for reasons)

I can't access my node server because it isn't https. Blocked loading mixed active content

From hosting my site with Firebase i get a free SSL. Can i simply add a CNAME of my elsticbeanstalk server URL to my DNS records to utalize firebase's SSL?

or Do i need to purchase an ssl for my whole domain?

Or are there better free options.

Answer 1

The certificate provided by Firebase Hosting can only be used for content that is served from Firebase Hosting.

But it looks like you can use free letsencrypt certificates with Elastic Beanstalk on AWS .
