Summary

  • Add an unchecked Enable HTTPS checkbox to the existing fresh-server workflow. Default runs configure http://captain.<rootDomain> without requesting a Let's Encrypt certificate. Checking it retains the existing root SSL and force-SSL setup.
  • Run the same smoke, core, and destructive suites against the selected dashboard URL, including private Git webhook coverage.
  • Accept HTTP dashboard URLs only for ephemeral runs, update fresh-install assertions and diagnostics for both protocols, and document the controlled SSL workflow's HTTPS prerequisite.

Verification

  • npm run typecheck
  • npm run build:provisioning
  • npm run test:unit (15 files, 81 tests)
  • npm run format
  • git diff --check

The first unchecked HTTP run provisioned successfully, passed 107 of 110 E2E tests (including the Git webhook test), and destroyed the temporary server. It found unset SSL fields in the fresh-install API response and a transient GoAccess connection reset; commit a173c0b addresses both. Rerun with Enable HTTPS unchecked to validate the fixes, then run it checked once to validate certificate issuance and the HTTPS path.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Fresh-server E2E runs now use HTTP by default, with an option to enable HTTPS when starting a run.
    • Local ephemeral runs can also enable HTTPS through a setting that accepts only true or false.
  • Improvements
    • Port 80 is sufficient for HTTP runs; port 443 is needed only when HTTPS is enabled.
    • Connectivity checks now use the protocol and port configured for the run.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Ephemeral E2E provisioning now defaults to HTTP. A workflow input or E2E_ENABLE_HTTPS=true enables dashboard HTTPS setup. Provisioning returns the selected dashboard URL, and ephemeral runtime configuration and connectivity diagnostics support HTTP.

Changes

Ephemeral HTTPS configuration and provisioning

Layer / File(s) Summary
HTTPS option and configuration
.github/workflows/e2e-ephemeral.yml, .env.template, provisioning/config.ts, provisioning/environment/provision.ts, provisioning/README.md, README.md
The workflow exposes enable_https, defaulting to false, and passes it as E2E_ENABLE_HTTPS. Provisioning validates the setting and passes it to CapRover setup. Documentation describes the default and opt-in configuration.
Conditional CapRover HTTPS setup
provisioning/caprover.ts, tests/unit/optional-https.test.ts, tests/system-defaults.test.ts, provisioning/README.md, README.md, E2E_TEST_PLAN.md
CapRover setup selects an HTTP or HTTPS dashboard URL. It enables root SSL and force SSL only when HTTPS is enabled. Tests and documentation describe the conditional SSL behavior and coverage.
HTTP URL handling and diagnostics
src/config.ts, src/diagnostics.ts, tests/unit/config.test.ts, tests/unit/diagnostics.test.ts, README.md
Ephemeral runs accept HTTP dashboard URLs; other runs still require HTTPS. Connectivity probes derive their protocol and port from the configured URL. Tests cover HTTP and HTTPS URLs.

Protect administrator credentials before merging the default HTTP workflow. The explicit-port diagnostic failure is narrower but should also be fixed.

In `@provisioning/caprover.ts`:
- Around line 97-101: Keep HTTP in the CapRover provisioning flow limited to
bootstrap operations. Before calling secureApi.changePass() or
verificationApi.login(), require HTTPS or a protected private tunnel, and only
return the dashboard URL to the test environment once authenticated traffic is
protected.

In `@src/diagnostics.ts`:
- Line 272: Update the runner DNS-bypass probe to use dashboard.port when
present, falling back to the protocol’s default port when absent. Keep the
remote local-Nginx probe’s port selection separate.

Keep authenticated dashboard traffic off public HTTP.

When enableHttps is false, secureApi.changePass() sends the generated administrator password in the request body over http://captain.<rootDomain>. verificationApi.login(password) sends that password again. caprover-api@0.0.25 also sends the returned JWT in x-captain-auth on later requests. Its cross-fetch transport does not upgrade or tunnel HTTP.

A network observer can capture the generated password or JWT and impersonate the administrator during the E2E run. Keep HTTP limited to bootstrap operations. Require HTTPS, or use a protected private tunnel, before changing the password, verifying credentials, or returning the URL to the test environment.

provisioning flow limited to bootstrap operations. Before calling
secureApi.changePass() or verificationApi.login(), require HTTPS or a protected

authenticated traffic is protected.

Use the configured port for the runner DNS-bypass probe.

If an ephemeral CAPROVER_URL uses an explicit port such as http://captain.example.com:8080, curl connects to port 8080, but the --resolve entry built from this value names port 80. Curl cannot use that entry to bypass DNS, so the probe can give a misleading failure. Use dashboard.port when present for the runner probe. Keep the remote local-Nginx probe’s port decision separate.

In `@src/diagnostics.ts` at line 272, Update the runner DNS-bypass probe to use
dashboard.port when present, falling back to the protocol’s default port when
absent. Keep the remote local-Nginx probe’s port selection separate.
