Hi everyone :)

I run BookStack on a Ubuntu 20.04 VM.
I use the script for Ubuntu 20.04 https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/installation/#ubuntu-2004 .

Everything work in HTTP.

For HTTPS, i use : certbot certbot certonly --webroot --agree-tos --email myadress@myadress.com -d mywiki.com --webroot-path /var/www/bookstack/public

I update the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/bookstack.conf :

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName my-wiki.com
Redirect permanent / https://www.my-wiki.com

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName my-wiki.com

    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/bookstack/public/

SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile           /etc/letsencrypt/live/my-wiki.com/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile       /etc/letsencrypt/live/my-wiki.com/privkey.pem

<Directory /var/www/bookstack/public/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
            Options -MultiViews -Indexes
        </IfModule>

        RewriteEngine On

        # Handle Authorization Header
        RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
        RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

        # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
        RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]

        # Handle Front Controller...
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

    ErrorLog /error.log
    CustomLog /access.log combined

RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]

Icons are giant, CSS is broken.

How can i fix it ?

Hi @dimitrilctr,
Have you updated you APP_URL in the /var/www/bookstack/.env file to also start with https://?
