# Secure Lightdash with HTTPS

> To run Lightdash in production it is highly recommended to secure it with HTTPS. This is usually done using your cloud provider's load balancer or ingress controller. Optionally you could use a proxy service like [nginx](https://www.nginx.com/) or [traefik](https://traefik.io).

## Configuration options for HTTPS

```yaml theme={null}
# values.yaml
configMap:
  # Ensures all Lightdash links use https
  SITE_URL: https://lightdash.mycompany.com

  # Only allow cookies to be sent over HTTPS
  SECURE_COOKIES: 'true'

  # (optional) allow http traffic behind a https enabled proxy
  TRUST_PROXY: 'true'

# Depending on your ingress implemantation you may need to set the following
service:
  type: NodePort

# Example ingress controller configuration
ingress:
  enabled: true
  annotations: {}
  hosts:
    - host: lightdash.mycompany.com
      paths:
        - path: /*
          pathType: ImplementationSpecific
  tls:
    - hosts:
        - lightdash.mycompany.com
      secretName: lightdash-tls
```
