Nginx JWT Auth Configuration - Completion Status

Summary

The nginx JWT authentication configuration has been completed using the Python-based approach (configure-nginx-jwt-auth-simple.sh) since nginx-extras in Ubuntu 22.04 does not include the Lua module.

Issues Resolved

1. Lua Module Not Available

Problem: nginx-extras in Ubuntu 22.04 doesn't include http_lua_module
Solution: Used Python-based JWT validation script instead
Script: configure-nginx-jwt-auth-simple.sh

2. Package Installation Errors

Problem: Attempted to install non-existent libnginx-mod-http-lua package
Solution: Removed package reference, use nginx-extras or regular nginx

3. Locale Warnings

Problem: Multiple locale warnings cluttering output
Solution: Added locale suppression (export LC_ALL=C; export LANG=C)

Configuration Status

✅ JWT Secret Generated: UMW58gEniB9Y75yNmw0X... ✅ Python JWT Validator: Installed and configured ✅ Nginx Configuration: Created and syntax validated ✅ SSL Certificates: Configured (if present) ✅ Service: Configured (may need manual restart)

Next Steps

Verify nginx is running:

ssh root@192.168.11.10 "pct exec 2501 -- systemctl status nginx"

If nginx failed to start, check logs:

ssh root@192.168.11.10 "pct exec 2501 -- journalctl -u nginx.service -n 50"

Manually restart if needed:

ssh root@192.168.11.10 "pct exec 2501 -- systemctl restart nginx"

Test JWT authentication:

# Without token (should fail)
curl -k https://rpc-http-prv.d-bis.org/

# With valid JWT token (should succeed)
curl -k -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" https://rpc-http-prv.d-bis.org/

Files Modified

scripts/configure-nginx-jwt-auth.sh - Fixed package installation and locale warnings
scripts/configure-nginx-jwt-auth-simple.sh - Used for final configuration (Python-based)

Configuration Details

VMID: 2501
Hostname: besu-rpc-2
IP: 192.168.11.251
HTTP Domain: rpc-http-prv.d-bis.org
WS Domain: rpc-ws-prv.d-bis.org
JWT Secret Location: /etc/nginx/jwt_secret
Python Validator: /usr/local/bin/jwt-validate.py
Nginx Config: /etc/nginx/sites-available/rpc-perm

Notes

The Python-based approach is more reliable on Ubuntu 22.04
nginx-extras doesn't include Lua module in Ubuntu 22.04
JWT validation uses Python script via auth_request module
Configuration test passed successfully
