How to install a third party SSL cetificate files and make the Flarum auto run as https
thanks

MichaelLiu this is not really a Flarum question but a hosting/ops question. It depends on a lot of things, like what hosting environment you have (shared hosting vs virtual machine), the operating system etc..

Thank u Luceos, I' am not sure if a shared hosting using Apache or Nginx as the web server can install our Flarum, if it can, I will prefer to install it under a shared hosting environment, you know config a SSL certificate under shared hosting is very easy.

On the other hand， if there is any document about installing of Flarum on a Ubuntu or Debian dedicate server, I will glad to have a try.

The hosting provider has to set up the certificate. You can either configure the redirect through the hosting as well, through an apache htaccess or with this extension: https://extiverse.com/extension/fof/secure-https

I still can not find any path to upload the SSL certificate file when run the Flarum on a dedicate server, or using the extention FoF Secure HTTPS.
maybe I can try to install it through the shared hosting method.

MichaelLiu you don't install SSL certificates in a web application (usually). You will need to install the certificate into the webserver level. Lets encrypt is able to create and install certificates automatically.
