Complete Recap

  1. Create folder /opt/apisix.
  2. Create and fill /opt/apisix/apisix.yaml (with role: data_plane, consumers, upstreams, plugin_configs, routes, and #END).
  3. Make restart_apisix.sh script that stops any old container and starts a new one, mounting /opt/apisix/apisix.yaml as both config.yaml and apisix.yaml.
  4. Run ./restart_apisix.sh to start APISIX.
  5. Test APISIX locally: curl -u foo:bar http://127.0.0.1:9080/demo/md/3.0/accounts.
  6. Install Nginx (sudo apt install nginx).
  7. Install Certbot (sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx).
  8. Get SSL: sudo certbot --nginx -d abeta-proxy.finmars.com.
  9. Edit Nginx site at /etc/nginx/sites-available/default to add:
    location / {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9080;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
  10. Reload Nginx (sudo nginx -t then sudo systemctl reload nginx).
  11. Open firewall ports 80, 443, 9080 (sudo ufw allow ...).
  12. Test https://abeta-proxy.finmars.com/demo/md/3.0/accounts in a browser.
  13. Auto-renew is handled by Certbot.
  14. To update, edit /opt/apisix/apisix.yaml and run ./restart_apisix.sh.

That is the full, clear set of instructions. Now your APISIX runs behind Nginx with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, and you can update the config anytime by editing the file and restarting with the script.
