Beanstalk single instance & NodeJS - https won't work

Followed all the steps at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/https-singleinstance-nodejs.html , with self-signed certificate info for server.crt and server.key.

Everything works fine on http. But when I go to the https version of the URL, it tells me "beanstalkurl.eu-west-1.elasticbeanstalk.com refused to connect."

I checked the security group of the beanstalk deployment and it has 443 inbound so it appears that https-instance-single.config file was successful at least... I don't see any errors in my Beanstalk logs.

Any thoughts on how to resolve? Really don't wanna pay 200/year for a load balancer, especially if they say this should work as well.

How exactly did you setup your ssl? For this you need your own domain, not beanstalkurl.eu-west-1.elasticbeanstalk.com. - Marcin
I used my domain (example.com, so without the www) for signing the certificate. Then put the Route 53 domani (example.com, so without the www) to redirect to the Beanstalk environment - beyondtdr

It feels like I've tried everything.

  • Use the Beanstalk domain for the self signed certificate
  • Use 'localhost' for the self-signed certificate
  • Use the domain I purchased for the self-signed certificate, and in Route53 link it to the Beanstalk environment

All using the two files and .ebextensions folder mentioned in: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/https-singleinstance-nodejs.html

Maybe they just want you to pay for a load balancer after all :-)
