HAPI JS Node js creating https server

How do I create a hapi http and https server, listening on both 80 and 443 with the same routing?

(I need a server which should run both on http and https with the exact same API)

In reply to the selected answer: this does not work anymore, removes in version 17 :

https://github.com/hapijs/hapi/issues/3572

You get :

TypeError: server.connection is not a function

Workaround is either using a proxy or creating 2 instances of Hapi.Server()

I was looking for something like this and found out https://github.com/DylanPiercey/auto-sni which has an example usage with Express, Koa, Hapi (untested)

It's basically based on letsencrypt certificates and load hapi server using a custom listener.

Haven't tried it yet.

You can also use the local-ssl-proxy npm package to proxy local HTTPS to HTTP. For local development only.

It may not be usual to handle the https requests directly on the application, but Hapi.js can handle both http and https within the same API. 

var Hapi = require('hapi');
var server = new Hapi.Server();

var fs = require('fs');

var tls = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/cert.pem')
};

server.connection({address: '0.0.0.0', port: 443, tls: tls });
server.connection({address: '0.0.0.0', port: 80 });

server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/',
    handler: function (request, reply) {
        reply('Hello, world!');
    }
});

server.start(function () {
    console.log('Server running');
});

Here is a sample project which can help you with this.

For hapi version earlier than 8.x

var server = Hapi.createServer(host, port, {
    cors: true
});

server.start(function() {
    console.log('Server started ', server.info.uri);
});

For hapi new version

var Hapi = require('hapi');

var server = new Hapi.Server();
server.connection({ port: app.config.server.port });

@codelion has given a good answer, but if you still want to listen on multiple ports, you can pass multiple configs for connections.

var server = new Hapi.Server();
server.connection({ port: 80, /*other opts here */});
server.connection({ port: 8080, /*other opts, incl. ssh */  });

But to note again, it would be good to start depreciating http connections. Google and others will soon start marking them insecure. Also, it would probably be a good idea to actually handle SSL with nginx or something, not on node app itself.

You can redirect all http requests to https instead :

if (request.headers['x-forwarded-proto'] === 'http') {
  return reply()
    .redirect('https://' + request.headers.host + request.url.path)
    .code(301);
}
