https is supported by default. setting your api_url in rxconfig.py to an https url should work out of the box with no special configuration

I have no Nginx or something similar to setup cert or key, just only Reflex/Pynecone. Where should I put the cert and key files? I want both of frontend and backend are https enabled.

@evandeng2009 while i believe uvicorn and probably next itself support TLS certs, etc natively, reflex doesn't currently expose it.

If you're looking for something simple to terminate TLS, then I'd recommend taking a look at caddy with automatic HTTPS.

You can get started with a Caddyfile in your app directory like so:

localhost
reverse_proxy localhost:3000
reverse_proxy /event/ localhost:8000

(change localhost on the first line to whatever domain you own, and it will provision TLS via letsencrypt automatically for you)

Execute caddy run, then fire up https://localhost to see your reflex site.

Thank you @masenf , Caddy is a good tool for auto https. With reverse_proxy /event/ localhost:8000 and api_url=https://domain_only_without_specified_backend_port, users will see 80/http and 443/https only and this is what I want.

Caddy is more easy to use than other proxies like Ghostunnel as Caddy itself help get and renew the cert and key.
