Hola Guys

Kind regards,

The link seem to be helpfull. Unfortunately, It seem to me that the “docker-compose” ChirpStack deployment does not provide directly access to the chirpstack-application-server.toml configuration file.
Does it mean that we need to add the -volume folder/file to the docker-compose.yml?

The links the previous person shared was for Chirpstack V3. In V4 the network and application server have been merged into one, therefore you just see “chirpstack” in your docker-compose.yml.

Unfortunately there is no way to secure the webUI in default V4, instead you must look into using a reverse-proxy like NGINX or Traefik to secure your frontend. I’d recommend Traefik as it can automatically handle certificate generation.

I also prefer Traefik, and use it for TLS termination of both MQTT and HTTP in ChirpStack deployments. Very simple to get going, and easy integration with Let’s Encrypt, as mentioned.
