+# Introduction
+
+In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of setting up a let's encrypt ssl/https certificate (reverse proxy) on a unique port other than 80/443, example **port:2525** on the root server for hosting using Hestia Control Panel. Hestia Control Panel is a popular open source web server control panel that simplifies the management of your website, email accounts, databases, and other hosting-related tasks. This tutorial is compatible with both VPS and Root Server offerings by netcup.
+
+Assumptions:
+* You already have a sub-domain setup and the requisite service installed at the specified http port (example - **http://sd1.domain.tld:2525**).
+* You have the sub-domain setup with **SSL/HTTPS (443)** setup (example - **https://sd1.domain.tld**)
+* You have bare minimum knowledge of terminal, web servers, vhosts, reverse proxy.
+
+The reading time of this tutorial is about 25 minutes; implementation will take approximately 60 minutes.
+
+# Prerequisites
+
+- A root server from netcup with latest Ubuntu 20.04/22.04/LTS; Debian 10/11/12/LTS or later installed (see the below URL) - use minimal mode of installation, also called clean installation. [Installation Tutorial](https://github.com/netcup-community/netcup-root-server-hosting-using-hestia-control-panel/01-en.md/)
+- A registered domain name
+- Root (optional) or ssh access to your server
+
+# Step 1: Update your system
+
+Before we begin, it's essential to ensure that your system is up-to-date. Log in to your server via SSH as the root user and run the following command:
+
+For Ubuntu/Debian:
+
+```
+apt update && apt upgrade -y
+```
+
+# Step 2: Add the necessary changes to the service (example git)
+
+Login via SSH to the server.
+
+```
+username@serverip:port
+```
+
+I created a normal subdomain at normal 80/443 ports with LE SSL generated.
+Then in the git app.ini (**/etc/git/app.in**) file, added this under **[server]**
+
+```
+nano /etc/git/app.ini
+--------------
+[server]
+ENABLE_ACME = enable
+HTTPS_PORT = 3000 ssl
+ROOT_URL = https://git.domain.tld
+-------------- **(save via)**
+CTRL+X
+Y
+Enter
+```
+
+Then under nginx.conf (**$HESTIADATA\conf\web\git.domain.tld\nginx.conf**) I added
+
+```
+nano /$HESTIADATA\conf\web\git.domain.tld\nginx.conf
+--------------
+ location / {
+     client_max_body_size 4096M;
+     proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
+     proxy_set_header Connection $http_connection;
+     proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+     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 $scheme;
+-------------- **(save via)**
+CTRL+X
+Y
+Enter
+```
+
+Then under apache2.conf (**$HESTIADATA\conf\web\git.domain.tld\apach2.conf**) I added
+
+```
+nano /$HESTIADATA\conf\web\git.domain.tld\apache2.conf
+--------------
+     ProxyPreserveHost On
+     ProxyRequests off
+     AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
+     ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/ nocanon
+-------------- **(save via)**
+CTRL+X
+Y
+Enter
+```
+
+Then under apache2.ssl.conf (**$HESTIADATA\conf\web\git.domain.tld\apache2.ssl.conf**) I added
+
+```
+nano /$HESTIADATA\conf\web\git.domain.tld\apach2.ssl.conf
+--------------
+ < VirtualHost git.domain.tld:8443 https >
+*****************************
+*****************************
+    ProxyPreserveHost On
+     ProxyRequests off
+     AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
+     ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/ nocanon
+-------------- **(save via)**
+CTRL+X
+Y
+Enter
+```
+
+I also enabled the following to ensure the proxy works:
+
+```
+ a2enmod proxy
+ a2enmod proxy_http
+ a2enmod proxy_balancer
+ a2enmod proxy_wstunnel
+ systemctl restart apache2
+```
+
+Then I restarted all services
+
+```
+ systemctl restart apache2
+ systemctl restart nginx
+ systemctl start git.service
+```
+
+I got the help from these:

+Awesome! You've successfully set up a let's encrypt certificate on a unique port other than the usual 443/8443.
