[WIP] let's encrypt heroku integration

[phoet]

in order to support full SSL via heroku, there need to be some changes to the dns setup.

i'm currently checking it out for the onruby.eu domains so that we can use them as a blueprint for all other domains.

[phoet]

point the CNAME to DOMAIN.herokudns.com so for www.onruby.eu it is www.onruby.eu.herokudns.com

[phoet]

please take care of your custom domain DNS settings as seen above

• @thilo rug-b.de
• @SweeD rugsaar.de
• @jhilden colognerb.de koelschrb.de
• @rubiii onruby.de
• @kikito madridrb.com

@bumi are you in control of colognerb.de?
@phoet I think koelschrb.de does not exist anymore and can be deleted.

[bumi]

@jhilden railslove handles colognerb.de guess you have access to the DNS entries or @kangguru can help.

[kangguru]

yep i do, changed the settings, site seems to be down now 😱 although i haven't checked before the change.

[phoet]

from my phone, it looks like the *.cologne.rb has no or bad DNS information. I think the root works, but subdomain configuration is broken.

the site works fine through cologne.onruby.de

[kangguru]

mh, any idea?

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ssl#change-your-dns-for-all-domains-on-your-app

dig www.colognerb.de cname +short
colognerb.de.herokudns.com.

sounds ok to me

[phoet]

sorry, i think it must be with the subdomain www.colognerb.de.herokudns.com

changing dns is always such a PITA because of the caching and ttls :(

[kangguru]

yea, should have spotted that myself. now it works:tm:

[jhilden]

DNS resolution still often does not work when people just type in colognerb.de (without the www).

$ curl -v colognerb.de
* Rebuilt URL to: colognerb.de/
* Could not resolve host: colognerb.de
* Closing connection 0
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: colognerb.de

Some browsers will automatically redirect to the www version, but it seems that it does not work for everybody.

This is what we have configured:

[phoet]

@jhilden AFAIK you either have to setup CNAME flattening which is not supported by all DNS providers, or setup a redirect from the root to www.
