What approach would you Recommend I take to set up https in a node app?

• Caddy

  401 53,568 9.4 Go

  Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

  

I'd look into Caddy or Traefik. Both are reverse proxies. Even though you mentioned you want to avoid them I strongly recommend you reconsider.

• greenlock-express.js

  2 57 0.0 JavaScript

  Free SSL and Automatic HTTPS (ACME / Let's Encrypt v2 client) for node.js with Express, Connect, and other middleware systems

  

No reverse proxy, proper integration: Add something like the greenlock-express npm module to your Node app. It will handle the SSL integration for you – create the certs, add them to your server config and renew them when necessary.

  The Cloud Native Application Proxy

  

Reverse proxy, docker-style: If the services you run (in your case a Node app) live in a docker container, you can also use a Reverse Proxy that is built for docker or has docker integration. This can be Traefik, for nginx you can use the wildly popular nginx-proxy image or for Caddy there's caddy-docker-proxy.
