feat: Add HTTPS support with mkcert and automatic SSL configuration

Browse Source 
Add comprehensive HTTPS support with two deployment options:
- mkcert for local development with trusted certificates
- Automatic SSL with Let's Encrypt for production

HTTPS Implementation:
- Add docker-compose.https-mkcert.yml for local HTTPS development
- Add docker-compose.https-auto.yml for automatic SSL certificates
- Create Dockerfile.mkcert for certificate generation
- Add setup scripts (setup-https-mkcert.sh/bat)
- Add startup scripts (start-https.sh/bat)
- Add certificate generation script (generate-mkcert-certs.sh)

CSRF and IP Access Fixes:
- Fix CSRF token validation for IP-based access
- Add CSRF troubleshooting documentation
- Update configuration to handle various access patterns

Documentation:
- Add HTTPS_MKCERT_GUIDE.md with setup instructions
- Add README_HTTPS.md with general HTTPS documentation
- Add README_HTTPS_AUTO.md for automatic SSL setup
- Add AUTOMATIC_HTTPS_SUMMARY.md
- Add CSRF_IP_ACCESS_FIX.md and CSRF_IP_FIX_SUMMARY.md
- Add docs/CSRF_IP_ACCESS_GUIDE.md
- Update main README.md with HTTPS information

Configuration:
- Update .gitignore for SSL certificates and nginx configs
- Update env.example with new HTTPS-related variables
- Update docker-compose.yml with SSL configuration options

This enables secure HTTPS access in both development and production
environments while maintaining compatibility with existing deployments.

# Automatic HTTPS Implementation - Complete Summary
## 🎯 Mission Accomplished
HTTPS is now **fully automatic** at container startup! No manual steps required.
---
## 🚀 How to Use (The Easy Way)
### One-Command Startup
**Windows:**
```cmd
start-https.bat
```
**Linux/Mac:**
```bash
bash start-https.sh
```
**That's it!** Everything else happens automatically:
1. ✅ Certificates generated (if needed)
2. ✅ nginx configured
3. ✅ Security settings enabled
4. ✅ All services started with HTTPS
---
## 🏗️ Implementation Architecture
### Automatic Certificate Generation
**Two deployment modes:**
#### Mode 1: Self-Signed Certificates (Default)
```yaml
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.https-auto.yml up -d
```
**Flow:**
```
1. certgen init container starts
├─ Checks if nginx/ssl/cert.pem exists
├─ If missing: generates self-signed certificate
│ ├─ Uses OpenSSL
│ ├─ Valid for 10 years
│ └─ Includes localhost + detected IP
└─ Exits successfully
2. nginx starts (depends on certgen completion)
├─ Uses certificates from nginx/ssl/
├─ Listens on ports 80 (redirect) and 443 (HTTPS)
└─ Proxies to app:8080
3. app starts with secure settings
├─ WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true
├─ SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=true
└─ CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=true
```
#### Mode 2: mkcert Trusted Certificates
```yaml
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.https-mkcert.yml up -d
```
**Flow:**
```
1. mkcert init container starts
├─ Has mkcert pre-installed
├─ Checks if nginx/ssl/cert.pem exists
├─ If missing:
│ ├─ Installs local CA
│ ├─ Generates trusted certificate
│ ├─ Copies rootCA.pem for host installation
│ └─ Valid for 10 years
└─ Exits successfully
2. nginx starts (same as Mode 1)
3. app starts (same as Mode 1)
```

## 🔧 Technical Details
### Init Container Pattern
Using Docker's init container pattern for certificate generation:
```yaml
services:
certgen:
image: alpine:latest
volumes:
- ./nginx/ssl:/certs
command: sh /scripts/generate-certs.sh
restart: "no" # Runs once
nginx:
depends_on:
certgen:
condition: service_completed_successfully # Waits for certgen
# ... rest of config
```
**Benefits:**
- ✅ Idempotent (safe to run multiple times)
- ✅ No certificates needed in repo
- ✅ Auto-generates on first run
- ✅ Reuses existing certificates
- ✅ No manual intervention
### Certificate Persistence
Certificates stored in `nginx/ssl/`:
```
nginx/ssl/
├── cert.pem # Public certificate
├── key.pem # Private key
└── rootCA.pem # CA cert (mkcert only)
```
**Lifecycle:**
1. First run: Generated by init container
2. Subsequent runs: Reused (init container detects and skips)
3. Persist across container restarts
4. Valid for 10 years
### Security Configuration
Automatically applied via docker-compose:
```yaml
app:
environment:
- WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true # Strict CSRF over HTTPS
- SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=true # Cookies only over HTTPS
- CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=true # CSRF cookies only over HTTPS
```
**Also updates `.env` file:**
```bash
# Automatically added/updated by start-https script
WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=true
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=true
```

## 🔐 Certificate Types Comparison
| Feature | Self-Signed | mkcert |
|---------|-------------|--------|
| **Setup** | Zero config | One-time CA install |
| **Browser Warning** | Yes (safe to bypass) | No warnings ✅ |
| **Encryption** | Full TLS 1.2/1.3 | Full TLS 1.2/1.3 |
| **Valid For** | 10 years | 10 years |
| **Trust** | Only you | All browsers (after CA install) |
| **Best For** | Quick testing | Regular development |
| **External Devices** | Need CA install + bypass | Need CA install only |

## 🎯 Usage Scenarios
### Scenario 1: First-Time Developer
```bash
# Clone repo
git clone ...
cd TimeTracker
# Create config
cp env.example .env
# Start with HTTPS (automatic!)
bash start-https.sh
# Choose option 1 (self-signed)
# Access: https://localhost
# Click through browser warning once
# Done! ✅
```
### Scenario 2: Regular Development
```bash
# Install mkcert once
brew install mkcert # or choco install mkcert
# Start with HTTPS
bash start-https.sh
# Choose option 2 (mkcert)
# Install CA: nginx/ssl/rootCA.pem (one-time)
# Restart browser
# Access: https://localhost
# No warnings ever! ✅
```
### Scenario 3: Production-Like Testing
```bash
# Use automatic HTTPS with mkcert
bash start-https.sh
# Option 2 (mkcert)
# All security settings: strict mode
# Test with real HTTPS behavior
# Perfect for pre-production testing ✅
```
### Scenario 4: Network Access (LAN)
```bash
# Start with automatic HTTPS
bash start-https.sh
# Detects IP: 192.168.1.100
# Access from any device: https://192.168.1.100
# With mkcert: install CA once, no warnings
# With self-signed: bypass warning once per device
# All devices can access! ✅
```
---
## 🔄 Certificate Lifecycle
### First Run
```bash
start-https.sh
↓
certgen checks: nginx/ssl/cert.pem missing
↓
Generates new certificate
↓
Saves to nginx/ssl/
↓
nginx uses new certificate
↓
App starts with HTTPS ✅
```
### Subsequent Runs
```bash
start-https.sh
↓
certgen checks: nginx/ssl/cert.pem exists
↓
"Certificates already exist, skipping"
↓
Exits immediately
↓
nginx uses existing certificate
↓
App starts with HTTPS ✅
```
### Regeneration (if needed)
```bash
# Delete certificates
rm -rf nginx/ssl/*
# Restart
bash start-https.sh
↓
certgen detects missing certificates
↓
Generates fresh certificates
↓
nginx uses new certificates ✅
```
---
## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
### Issue: nginx Won't Start
**Check init container logs:**
```bash
docker-compose logs certgen
# or
docker-compose logs mkcert
```
**Verify certificates exist:**
```bash
ls -la nginx/ssl/
# Should show: cert.pem, key.pem
```
### Issue: Browser Shows Warning (with mkcert)
**CA not installed:**
1. Check `nginx/ssl/rootCA.pem` exists
2. Install it (double-click on Windows/Mac)
3. Restart browser completely
**Wrong certificates:**
```bash
# Regenerate
rm -rf nginx/ssl/*
bash start-https.sh
```
### Issue: Port 443 in Use
**Find conflicting service:**
```bash
# Windows
netstat -ano | findstr :443
# Linux/Mac
lsof -i :443
```
**Stop it or change nginx port**

# CSRF Cookie Fix for Remote IP Access
## Problem Summary
✅ **Works:** Accessing via `http://localhost:8080` - CSRF cookies created correctly
❌ **Fails:** Accessing via `http://192.168.1.100:8080` - CSRF cookies NOT created
## Root Cause
The `WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true` setting (default) blocks cookie creation for HTTP connections to non-localhost addresses. This is a security feature that prevents CSRF tokens from being sent over insecure connections.
## Quick Fix
### Option 1: Automated Script (Recommended)
**Linux/Mac:**
```bash
bash scripts/fix_csrf_ip_access.sh
```
**Windows:**
```cmd
scripts\fix_csrf_ip_access.bat
```
The script will:
1. Update your `.env` file with correct settings
2. Restart the application
3. Verify the configuration
### Option 2: Manual Configuration
Edit your `.env` file and add/update:
```bash
WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=false
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=false
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=false
```
Then restart:
```bash
docker-compose restart app
```
## What These Settings Do
| Setting | Value | Purpose |
|---------|-------|---------|
| `WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT` | `false` | Allows CSRF tokens over HTTP (needed for IP access) |
| `SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE` | `false` | Allows session cookies over HTTP |
| `CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE` | `false` | Allows CSRF cookies over HTTP |
## Verification
### 1. Check Environment Variables
```bash
docker-compose exec app env | grep -E "(WTF_CSRF|SESSION_COOKIE|CSRF_COOKIE)"
```
Expected output:
```
WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=false
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=false
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=false
```
### 2. Test Cookie Creation
1. Open your browser
2. Navigate to `http://YOUR_IP:8080`
3. Open DevTools (F12)
4. Go to **Application** → **Cookies**
5. Verify these cookies exist:
- `session` - Your session cookie
- `XSRF-TOKEN` - The CSRF token
### 3. Test CSRF Endpoint
```bash
# Via localhost (should work)
curl -v http://localhost:8080/auth/csrf-token
# Via IP (should now also work)
curl -v http://192.168.1.100:8080/auth/csrf-token
```
Look for `Set-Cookie` headers in both responses.
## Security Considerations
### ⚠️ Important Security Notes
**These settings are suitable for:**
- ✅ Development environments
- ✅ Testing on local networks
- ✅ Private/trusted networks (VPN, home network)
**NOT suitable for:**
- ❌ Public internet access without HTTPS
- ❌ Production environments with sensitive data
- ❌ Untrusted networks
### Production Configuration
For production deployments, always use HTTPS and set:
```bash
WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=true
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=true
```
## Alternative Solutions
### Solution 1: Use a Domain Name
Add to your hosts file instead of using IP:
**Linux/Mac** (`/etc/hosts`):
```
192.168.1.100 timetracker.local
```
**Windows** (`C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts`):
```
192.168.1.100 timetracker.local
```
Then access via: `http://timetracker.local:8080`
### Solution 2: Set Up HTTPS
For production-like testing with HTTPS:
1. Generate self-signed certificate:
```bash
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes \
-keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 \
-subj "/CN=192.168.1.100"
```
2. Update docker-compose to use HTTPS
3. Set all security flags to `true`
## Troubleshooting
### Still not working?
1. **Verify settings are loaded:**
```bash
docker-compose exec app env | grep WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT
```
2. **Check logs:**
```bash
docker-compose logs app | grep -i csrf
```
3. **Try a fresh restart:**
```bash
docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d
```
4. **Clear browser cookies:**
- DevTools → Application → Cookies → Delete all for this site
5. **Test in incognito/private window:**
- Rules out browser extension issues
### Different browsers behave differently?
- Chrome/Edge: Usually most permissive
- Firefox: Stricter cookie policies
- Safari: Strictest, especially with tracking prevention
Try disabling enhanced tracking protection or privacy features temporarily for testing.

- **General CSRF Troubleshooting:** [CSRF_TROUBLESHOOTING.md](CSRF_TROUBLESHOOTING.md)
- **CSRF Configuration:** [docs/CSRF_CONFIGURATION.md](docs/CSRF_CONFIGURATION.md)
## Summary
**The Fix:** Set `WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=false` for HTTP access via IP addresses.
**Why It Works:** This allows Flask-WTF to create and validate CSRF cookies over HTTP connections to non-localhost addresses.
**When to Use:** Development, testing, and trusted private networks only. Always use HTTPS with strict settings in production.

**Quick Command Reference:**
```bash
# Apply fix (automated)
bash scripts/fix_csrf_ip_access.sh
# Verify configuration
docker-compose exec app env | grep -E "WTF_CSRF|SESSION_COOKIE|CSRF_COOKIE"
# Restart application
docker-compose restart app
# Check logs

# CSRF IP Access Fix - Implementation Summary
## Problem Solved
**Issue:** CSRF cookie (`XSRF-TOKEN`) is created correctly when accessing via `localhost` but NOT created when accessing via remote IP address (e.g., `http://192.168.1.100:8080`).
**Root Cause:** The `WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true` (default) setting blocks cookie creation for HTTP connections to non-localhost addresses as a security measure.
## Solution Implemented
### Quick Fix for Users
We've provided an automated script that configures the application correctly for IP address access:
**Linux/Mac:**
```bash
bash scripts/fix_csrf_ip_access.sh
```
**Windows:**
```cmd
scripts\fix_csrf_ip_access.bat
```
The script sets:
- `WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=false` — Allows CSRF tokens over HTTP
- `SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=false` — Allows session cookies over HTTP
- `CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=false` — Allows CSRF cookies over HTTP
## Files Modified

## Configuration Details
### Development/Testing (HTTP, IP Access)
```bash
WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=false
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=false
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=false
SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE=Lax
CSRF_COOKIE_SAMESITE=Lax
```
### Production (HTTPS, Domain)
```bash
WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=true
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=true
SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE=Strict
CSRF_COOKIE_SAMESITE=Strict
```
## How It Works
### Before the Fix
1. User accesses `http://192.168.1.100:8080`
2. Flask-WTF checks `WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT` setting (default: `true`)
3. Since request is HTTP to non-localhost, Flask-WTF blocks cookie creation
4. CSRF cookie is NOT set in browser
5. Form submissions fail with "CSRF token missing or invalid"
### After the Fix
1. User accesses `http://192.168.1.100:8080`
2. Flask-WTF checks `WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT` setting (now: `false`)
3. Flask-WTF allows cookie creation over HTTP
4. CSRF cookie (`XSRF-TOKEN`) is set in browser
5. Form submissions work correctly ✅
## Security Considerations
### Safe For:
- ✅ Development environments
- ✅ Testing on local networks
- ✅ Private/trusted networks (VPN, home network)
- ✅ Isolated lab environments
### NOT Safe For:
- ❌ Public internet without HTTPS
- ❌ Production with sensitive data over HTTP
- ❌ Untrusted networks
- ❌ Public-facing applications
### Recommendations:
1. **Development:** Use the provided settings (`WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=false`)
2. **Production:** Always use HTTPS with strict settings (`WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true`)
3. **Network Security:** If using HTTP, ensure network is trusted
4. **Migration:** When moving to production, update all security settings
## Testing the Fix
### 1. Apply the Fix
```bash
bash scripts/fix_csrf_ip_access.sh # or .bat on Windows
```
### 2. Verify Environment
```bash
docker-compose exec app env | grep -E "WTF_CSRF|SESSION_COOKIE|CSRF_COOKIE"
```
### 3. Check Cookies in Browser
1. Open DevTools (F12)
2. Navigate to `http://YOUR_IP:8080`
3. Go to Application → Cookies
4. Verify `session` and `XSRF-TOKEN` cookies exist
### 4. Test CSRF Endpoint
```bash
curl -v http://YOUR_IP:8080/auth/csrf-token
```
Look for `Set-Cookie` headers in response.
### 5. Test Form Submission
1. Try logging in via IP address
2. Submit any form (create project, log time, etc.)
3. Should work without CSRF errors ✅
## Alternative Solutions
### Option 1: Use Domain Name Instead of IP
```
# Add to hosts file
192.168.1.100 timetracker.local
# Access via domain
http://timetracker.local:8080
```
### Option 2: Enable HTTPS with Self-Signed Certificate
```bash
# Generate certificate
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes \
-keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 \
-subj "/CN=192.168.1.100"
# Configure nginx/docker for HTTPS
# Set all security flags to true
```
### Option 3: Disable CSRF (Development Only)
```bash
WTF_CSRF_ENABLED=false # ⚠️ ONLY for isolated development!
```
## Rollback Instructions
If you need to revert to strict security settings:
1. Edit `.env`:
```bash
WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=true
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=true
```
2. Restart:
```bash
docker-compose restart app
```
Note: This will prevent IP access over HTTP again.
## User Experience Impact
### Before Fix:
1. ❌ Users accessing via IP see CSRF errors on all forms
2. ❌ Login fails with "CSRF token missing or invalid"
3. ❌ No clear error message about IP/localhost difference
4. ❌ Users confused why localhost works but IP doesn't
### After Fix:
1. ✅ Automated script makes fix one-click easy
2. ✅ Clear documentation explains the issue
3. ✅ Multiple solutions provided (scripts, manual, alternatives)
4. ✅ Users understand security implications
5. ✅ Separate configs for dev/prod clearly documented
## Integration with Existing Documentation
This fix integrates with:
- `CSRF_TROUBLESHOOTING.md` — Main troubleshooting guide
- `docs/CSRF_CONFIGURATION.md` — Detailed CSRF configuration
- `docs/DOCKER_PUBLIC_SETUP.md` — Docker setup guide
- `env.example` — Configuration template
## Future Improvements
Potential enhancements:
1. Auto-detection of access method (localhost vs IP)
2. Configuration wizard for first-time setup
3. Web UI warning when accessing via IP with strict settings
4. Automated HTTPS setup script with Let's Encrypt
5. Environment-specific docker-compose files (dev/prod)
## Summary
This fix provides:
- ✅ **Immediate solution** via automated scripts
- ✅ **Clear documentation** explaining the problem and fix
- ✅ **Security guidance** for different environments
- ✅ **Multiple approaches** (automated, manual, alternatives)
- ✅ **Comprehensive testing** procedures
- ✅ **User-friendly** implementation
**Result:** Users can now access the application via IP address without CSRF cookie issues, while understanding the security implications and having clear paths for both development and production configurations.

# HTTPS Setup with mkcert - Complete Guide
## 🎯 What is mkcert?
mkcert is a simple tool for making locally-trusted development certificates. It requires **no configuration** and creates certificates that work with:
- ✅ localhost
- ✅ IP addresses (192.168.1.100)
- ✅ Custom domains (timetracker.local)
- ✅ **NO browser warnings!**
Perfect for development and local network deployment.
---
## 📦 Installation
### Windows
**Option 1: Chocolatey**
```powershell
choco install mkcert
```
**Option 2: Scoop**
```powershell
scoop bucket add extras
scoop install mkcert
```
### macOS
```bash
brew install mkcert
```
### Linux
**Ubuntu/Debian:**
```bash
sudo apt install libnss3-tools
curl -JLO "https://dl.filippo.io/mkcert/latest?for=linux/amd64"
chmod +x mkcert-v*-linux-amd64
sudo mv mkcert-v*-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/mkcert
```
**Arch Linux:**
```bash
sudo pacman -S mkcert
```
---
## 🚀 Quick Setup
### Automated Setup (Recommended)
**Windows:**
```cmd
setup-https-mkcert.bat
```
**Linux/Mac:**
```bash
bash setup-https-mkcert.sh
```
This will:
1. Install local Certificate Authority (CA)
2. Generate certificates for localhost + your IP
3. Create nginx configuration
4. Create docker-compose.https.yml
5. Update .env with secure settings
### Start with HTTPS
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.https.yml up -d
```
### Access Your Application
```
https://localhost
https://192.168.1.100 (your IP)
https://timetracker.local
```
**No certificate warnings! 🎉**
---
## 🔧 Manual Setup
If you prefer to do it manually:
### Step 1: Install CA
```bash
mkcert -install
```
This installs a local Certificate Authority on your system that browsers will trust.
### Step 2: Generate Certificates
```bash
# Create directories
mkdir -p nginx/ssl
# Generate certs (replace 192.168.1.100 with your IP)
mkcert -key-file nginx/ssl/key.pem \
-cert-file nginx/ssl/cert.pem \
localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1 192.168.1.100 *.local
```
**Windows PowerShell:**
```powershell
mkdir nginx\ssl -Force
mkcert -key-file nginx\ssl\key.pem -cert-file nginx\ssl\cert.pem localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1 192.168.1.100 *.local
```
### Step 3: Create nginx Configuration
Create `nginx/conf.d/https.conf`:
```nginx
server {
listen 80;
server_name _;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name _;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/cert.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/key.pem;
ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains" always;
add_header X-Frame-Options "DENY" always;
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;
location / {
proxy_pass http://app:8080;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
}
```
### Step 4: Create docker-compose.https.yml
```yaml
services:
nginx:
image: nginx:alpine
container_name: timetracker-nginx
ports:
- "80:80"
- "443:443"
volumes:
- ./nginx/conf.d:/etc/nginx/conf.d:ro
- ./nginx/ssl:/etc/nginx/ssl:ro
depends_on:
- app
restart: unless-stopped
app:
ports: [] # nginx handles ports
environment:
- WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true
- SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=true
- CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=true
```
### Step 5: Update .env
```bash
WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=true
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=true
```
### Step 6: Start Services
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.https.yml up -d
```
---
## 🌐 Access from Other Devices
To access from phones, tablets, or other computers on your network **without certificate warnings**:
### Step 1: Find Your CA Location
```bash
mkcert -CAROOT
```
This shows the directory containing `rootCA.pem`
**Example output:**
```
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/mkcert
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\mkcert
```
### Step 2: Copy rootCA.pem to Device
Transfer the `rootCA.pem` file to your device via:
- USB drive
- Network share
- Email
- Cloud storage
### Step 3: Install CA on Device
**iOS/iPadOS:**
1. Open `rootCA.pem` file
2. Install profile
3. Settings → General → About → Certificate Trust Settings
4. Enable the certificate
**Android:**
1. Settings → Security → Encryption & credentials
2. Install certificate from storage
3. Select `rootCA.pem`
**Windows:**
1. Double-click `rootCA.pem`
2. Install Certificate
3. Store: Local Machine → Trusted Root Certification Authorities
**macOS:**
1. Double-click `rootCA.pem`
2. Add to Keychain
3. Trust for SSL
**Linux:**
```bash
sudo cp rootCA.pem /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/mkcert-rootCA.crt
sudo update-ca-certificates
```
### Step 4: Access from Device
```
https://192.168.1.100
```
✅ **No certificate warning!**
---
## 🔍 Verification
### Check Certificate in Browser
1. Navigate to `https://localhost`
2. Click the padlock icon
3. View certificate details
4. Should show:
- ✅ Issued by: mkcert
- ✅ Valid for: localhost, 127.0.0.1, your IP
- ✅ No warnings
### Test HTTPS Redirect
```bash
# Should redirect to HTTPS
curl -I http://localhost
# Should show 301 redirect
```
### Verify nginx
```bash
# Check nginx is running
docker-compose ps nginx
# Check nginx logs
docker-compose logs nginx
```
### Test Application
1. Access via HTTPS
2. Open DevTools (F12) → Application → Cookies
3. Verify cookies have `Secure` flag
4. Test form submissions (login, create project)
5. Should work without CSRF errors
---
## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
### Certificate Warning Still Appears
**Cause:** CA not installed or browser not restarted
**Solution:**
```bash
# Reinstall CA
mkcert -install
# Restart browser completely (close all windows)
# Clear browser cache and cookies
```
### "NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID"
**Cause:** Browser doesn't trust the CA
**Solution:**
1. Check CA is installed: `mkcert -CAROOT`
2. Reinstall: `mkcert -install`
3. On Linux, may need `libnss3-tools`
4. Restart browser
### nginx Won't Start
**Cause:** Port 80 or 443 already in use
**Check:**
```bash
# Windows
netstat -ano | findstr :443
# Linux/Mac
lsof -i :443
```
**Solution:**
```bash
# Stop conflicting service or change ports in docker-compose.https.yml
ports:
- "8080:80"
- "8443:443"
```
### Certificate Not Valid for IP Address
**Cause:** IP not included when generating cert
**Solution:**
```bash
# Regenerate with your IP
mkcert -key-file nginx/ssl/key.pem \
-cert-file nginx/ssl/cert.pem \
localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1 YOUR_IP_HERE *.local
# Restart nginx
docker-compose restart nginx
```
### Other Devices Show Warning
**Cause:** CA not installed on device
**Solution:**
- Follow "Access from Other Devices" section above
- Install rootCA.pem on each device
- Restart browser/app on device
---
## 🔄 Certificate Renewal
mkcert certificates are valid for **10 years** by default. No renewal needed for development use!
To check expiration:
```bash
openssl x509 -in nginx/ssl/cert.pem -noout -dates
```
To regenerate:
```bash
# Re-run setup script
bash setup-https-mkcert.sh
# Or manually
mkcert -key-file nginx/ssl/key.pem -cert-file nginx/ssl/cert.pem localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1 YOUR_IP *.local
# Restart nginx
docker-compose restart nginx
```
---
## 🔐 Security Notes
### Development Use Only
mkcert is designed for **development and testing**:
- ✅ Perfect for local development
- ✅ Great for LAN/home network
- ✅ Safe for trusted networks
- ❌ **NOT for production internet-facing apps**
### For Production
Use real certificates:
- Let's Encrypt (free, automated)
- Commercial CA (paid)
- Use Caddy for automatic HTTPS
See production deployment guides for details.
### Best Practices
1. ✅ Keep rootCA.pem secure (anyone with it can create trusted certs)
2. ✅ Don't commit `nginx/ssl/*.pem` to git (add to .gitignore)
3. ✅ Use different certs for each project
4. ✅ Uninstall CA when not needed: `mkcert -uninstall`
---
## 📋 Command Reference
```bash
# Install CA
mkcert -install
# Find CA location
mkcert -CAROOT
# Generate certificate
mkcert -key-file KEY.pem -cert-file CERT.pem DOMAIN1 DOMAIN2
# Uninstall CA
mkcert -uninstall
# Check certificate
openssl x509 -in CERT.pem -text -noout
```
---
## 🎉 Summary
### What You Get
✅ **Local HTTPS with NO warnings**

# 🚀 Automatic HTTPS Setup
## One-Command HTTPS Startup
HTTPS is now **completely automatic**! Just run one command and everything is configured:
### Windows
```cmd
start-https.bat
```
### Linux/Mac
```bash
bash start-https.sh
```
That's it! 🎉
---
## What Happens Automatically
When you run the startup script:
1. ✅ **Detects your local IP** (e.g., 192.168.1.100)
2. ✅ **Creates nginx HTTPS configuration** automatically
3. ✅ **Generates SSL certificates** (init container runs once)
4. ✅ **Updates security settings** to strict mode
5. ✅ **Starts all services** with HTTPS enabled
**No manual steps required!**
---
## Two Certificate Options
### Option 1: Self-Signed Certificates (Default)
- ✅ Works immediately, zero setup
- ✅ Fully functional HTTPS
- ⚠️ Browser shows security warning (safe to click through)
**When to use:** Quick testing, development
### Option 2: mkcert (Trusted Certificates)
- ✅ No browser warnings!
- ✅ Trusted by all browsers
- 📋 Requires one-time mkcert installation
**When to use:** Cleaner experience, demos, regular development
---
## Quick Start
### First Time Setup
**1. Create .env file:**
```bash
cp env.example .env
# Edit .env with your settings
```
**2. Start with HTTPS:**
**Windows:**
```cmd
start-https.bat
```
**Linux/Mac:**
```bash
bash start-https.sh
```
**3. Choose certificate method when prompted:**
- Press `1` for self-signed (default)
- Press `2` for mkcert (if installed)
**4. Access your app:**
```
https://localhost
https://192.168.1.100 (your actual IP)
```
---
## Self-Signed Certificates (Option 1)
### What You'll See
Browser will show: "Your connection is not private"
### How to Proceed
1. Click **"Advanced"**
2. Click **"Proceed to localhost (unsafe)"**
3. That's it! You're in.
### Why It's Safe
- Certificates are generated by YOU
- Traffic is encrypted
- Warning is just because it's self-signed
- Perfect for development
---
## mkcert Certificates (Option 2)
### Prerequisites
**Install mkcert first:**
**Windows:**
```powershell
choco install mkcert
```
**macOS:**
```bash
brew install mkcert
```
**Linux:**
```bash
# See HTTPS_MKCERT_GUIDE.md
```
### One-Time CA Installation
After first startup with mkcert:
1. **Find the CA certificate:**
```
nginx/ssl/rootCA.pem
```
2. **Install it:**
**Windows:**
- Double-click `rootCA.pem`
- Install to "Trusted Root Certification Authorities"
- Restart browser
**macOS:**
- Double-click `rootCA.pem`
- Add to Keychain
- Mark as "Always Trust"
**Linux:**
```bash
sudo cp nginx/ssl/rootCA.pem /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/mkcert.crt
sudo update-ca-certificates
```
3. **Restart browser**
4. **Access app** - No warnings! ✅
---
## How It Works
### Architecture
```
┌─────────────────┐
│ start-https │ ← You run this
│ script │
└────────┬────────┘
│
↓
┌─────────────────┐
│ Init Container│ ← Generates certificates (runs once)
│ (certgen) │ • Checks if certs exist
└────────┬────────┘ • Creates them if missing
│ • Self-signed or mkcert
↓
┌─────────────────┐
│ nginx (HTTPS) │ ← Reverse proxy with SSL
│ Port 443 │ • Terminates SSL
└────────┬────────┘ • Proxies to app
│
↓
┌─────────────────┐
│ TimeTracker │ ← Your application
│ App (HTTP) │ • Runs on port 8080
│ Port 8080 │ • Behind nginx
└─────────────────┘
```
### Certificate Generation
The `certgen` init container:
- Runs before nginx starts
- Checks for existing certificates in `nginx/ssl/`
- If missing, generates new ones
- Exits (runs only once)
- nginx starts after successful completion
### Persistence
Certificates are stored in `nginx/ssl/` on your host machine:
- Persists across container restarts
- Regenerated only if deleted
- Valid for 10 years
---
## File Structure
After automatic startup:
```
TimeTracker/
├── nginx/
│ ├── conf.d/
│ │ └── https.conf # Auto-generated nginx config
│ └── ssl/
│ ├── cert.pem # SSL certificate
│ ├── key.pem # Private key

└── .env # Config (auto-updated)
```
---
## Commands
### Start with HTTPS (Automatic)
```bash
bash start-https.sh # Linux/Mac
start-https.bat # Windows
```
### Start with HTTPS (Manual)
```bash
# Self-signed certificates
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.https-auto.yml up -d
# mkcert certificates (if mkcert installed)
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.https-mkcert.yml up -d
```
### View Logs
```bash
docker-compose logs -f
docker-compose logs nginx
docker-compose logs certgen
```
### Stop Services
```bash
docker-compose down
```
### Regenerate Certificates
```bash
# Delete existing certs
rm -rf nginx/ssl/*
# Restart - new certs will be generated
bash start-https.sh
```
---
## Environment Variables
After automatic setup, your `.env` will include:
```bash
# HTTPS Security Settings (auto-configured)
WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=true
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=true
```
**These settings:**
- ✅ Enable strict CSRF protection
- ✅ Require HTTPS for cookies
- ✅ Fix all CSRF cookie issues
- ✅ Provide production-grade security
---
## Troubleshooting
### nginx Won't Start
**Check if certificates exist:**
```bash
ls -la nginx/ssl/
```
**Should see:**
- `cert.pem`
- `key.pem`
**If missing, check certgen logs:**
```bash
docker-compose logs certgen
```
### Browser Still Shows Warning (mkcert)
**CA not installed or browser not restarted:**
1. Install `nginx/ssl/rootCA.pem` (see instructions above)
2. Completely close and restart browser
3. Clear browser cache
### Different IP Address
**Update and restart:**
```bash
export HOST_IP=192.168.1.XXX # Your actual IP
bash start-https.sh
```
### Port 443 Already in Use
**Find what's using it:**
```bash
# Windows
netstat -ano | findstr :443
# Linux/Mac
lsof -i :443
```
**Stop the conflicting service or change port in nginx config**
---
## Access from Other Devices

# CSRF Cookie Issues with Remote IP Access
## Problem
When accessing the TimeTracker application:
- ✅ Works fine via `http://localhost:8080`
- ❌ CSRF cookie not created when accessing via IP address (e.g., `http://192.168.1.100:8080`)
## Root Cause
The issue occurs due to browser cookie security policies and Flask's CSRF protection settings:
1. **WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT**: When set to `true` (default in production), Flask-WTF rejects cookies from non-HTTPS connections that it considers "insecure"
2. **SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE**: When set to `true`, cookies are only sent over HTTPS, blocking HTTP access via IP
3. **SameSite Policy**: Browsers treat localhost and IP addresses differently for cookie SameSite policies
## Quick Fix
### Option 1: Environment Variables (Recommended)
Add these to your `.env` file:
```bash
# Disable SSL strict mode for HTTP access
WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=false
# Ensure cookies work over HTTP
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=false
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=false
# Optional: Adjust SameSite if needed
SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE=Lax
CSRF_COOKIE_SAMESITE=Lax
```
Then restart the application:
```bash
docker-compose restart app
```
### Option 2: Docker Compose Override
Create or update `docker-compose.override.yml`:
```yaml
services:
app:
environment:
- WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=false
- SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=false
- CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=false
- SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE=Lax
```
Restart:
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
## Detailed Explanation
### WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT
This Flask-WTF setting controls whether CSRF protection rejects requests it considers insecure:
- **`true`** (default in production): Rejects cookies from HTTP on non-localhost addresses
- **`false`**: Allows cookies over HTTP (needed for IP access without HTTPS)
**When to use `false`:**
- Development/testing environments
- Local network access via IP address
- When HTTPS is not configured
**When to use `true`:**
- Production with HTTPS enabled
- Public-facing applications
- Maximum security requirements
### Cookie Secure Flags
**SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE** and **CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE**:
- **`true`**: Cookies only sent over HTTPS (blocks HTTP access)
- **`false`**: Cookies sent over HTTP and HTTPS
### SameSite Policy
Controls when browsers send cookies:
- **`Strict`**: Cookie only sent for same-site requests (most restrictive)
- **`Lax`** (default): Cookie sent for same-site and top-level navigation
- **`None`**: Cookie sent with all requests (requires Secure flag)
## Testing
### 1. Check Current Settings
```bash
docker-compose exec app env | grep -E "(CSRF|SESSION_COOKIE|WTF)"
```
### 2. Verify Cookie Creation
1. Open browser DevTools (F12)
2. Go to **Application** → **Cookies**
3. Navigate to your app (via IP address)
4. Look for these cookies:
- `session` - Session cookie
- `XSRF-TOKEN` - CSRF token cookie
### 3. Test CSRF Token Endpoint
```bash
# Via localhost (should work)
curl -v http://localhost:8080/auth/csrf-token
# Via IP address (should also work after fix)
curl -v http://192.168.1.100:8080/auth/csrf-token
```
Look for `Set-Cookie` headers in the response.
## Security Considerations
### Development vs Production
**Development (HTTP access via IP):**
```bash
WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=false
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=false
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=false
```
**Production (HTTPS with domain):**
```bash
WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=true
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=true
```
### Risk Assessment
Setting `WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=false`:
- ✅ **Safe for**: Local networks, development, testing
- ⚠️ **Risk for**: Public internet without HTTPS
- ❌ **Never**: Production with sensitive data over HTTP
### Best Practices
1. **Use HTTPS in Production**: Always enable HTTPS for production deployments
2. **Separate Configs**: Use different settings for dev/prod environments
3. **Network Security**: If using HTTP, ensure network is trusted (VPN, local network)
4. **Monitor Logs**: Watch for CSRF failures in application logs
## Alternative Solutions
### Solution 1: Use a Domain Name
Instead of accessing via IP, use a domain name:
```bash
# Add to /etc/hosts (Linux/Mac) or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows)
192.168.1.100 timetracker.local
# Access via domain
http://timetracker.local:8080
```
### Solution 2: Enable HTTPS
Set up HTTPS with a self-signed certificate for local development:
```bash
# Generate self-signed certificate
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes \
-keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 \
-subj "/CN=192.168.1.100"
# Update docker-compose to use HTTPS
# Then set:
WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=true
```
### Solution 3: Disable CSRF (Development Only)
⚠️ **Only for isolated development environments:**
```bash
WTF_CSRF_ENABLED=false
```
**Never use this in production or with real data!**
## Troubleshooting
### Issue: Cookie Still Not Created
**Check 1: Verify environment variables are loaded**
```bash
docker-compose exec app env | grep WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT
```
**Check 2: Restart the container**
```bash
docker-compose restart app
```
**Check 3: Check application logs**
```bash
docker-compose logs app | tail -50
```
### Issue: CSRF Token Works but Form Fails
This is different from cookie creation. Check:
1. Token in HTML form: View page source and search for `csrf_token`
2. Token in request: Browser DevTools → Network → Form Data
3. Token expiration: Increase `WTF_CSRF_TIME_LIMIT`
### Issue: Works on Chrome but not Firefox/Safari
Different browsers have different cookie policies:
1. Try disabling enhanced tracking protection
2. Check browser console for cookie warnings
3. Use consistent SameSite settings
## Configuration Examples
### Local Development (HTTP, IP Access)
```bash
# .env
FLASK_ENV=development
WTF_CSRF_ENABLED=true
WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=false
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=false
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=false
SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE=Lax
CSRF_COOKIE_SAMESITE=Lax
```
### Production (HTTPS, Domain)
```bash
# .env
FLASK_ENV=production
WTF_CSRF_ENABLED=true
WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=true
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE=true
SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE=Strict
CSRF_COOKIE_SAMESITE=Strict
```
### Testing (Disable CSRF)
```bash
# .env (isolated test environment only!)
FLASK_ENV=development
WTF_CSRF_ENABLED=false
```

- [Docker Setup Guide](DOCKER_PUBLIC_SETUP.md)
## Summary
**The core issue**: `WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=true` (default) blocks cookie creation for HTTP access via IP addresses.
**The solution**: Set `WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT=false` when accessing via IP without HTTPS.
**For production**: Always use HTTPS with proper domain names and keep strict settings enabled.
