Description:
I used bitnami service to create the instance on GCP for my redash. It is all good and it works, but the address is not https, so I cannot embed the dashboard to my wordpress via iframe as I get the following error:

Mixed Content: The page at ‘mywebsitepage’ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure frame ‘http:/redash…slug=default’. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

How do I add SSL to my Redash instance?

I am reading that I will have to buy a new domain name, get a new SSL certificate from let's encrypt and point that domain to the static external IP address my redash VM instance has. Is this the only way to do this?

Hi @cetascript,

This error means that the application is using an HTTP connection (insecure) when you access it using HTTPS. In order to use HTTPS when connecting to Redash, you will need to follow the instructions you mentioned above.

HTTPS only works with domains and valid certificates for those domains. That means that you need a domain, point it to the redash's IP and after that you will need to generate the SSL certificates.

https://docs.bitnami.com/google/apps/redash/administration/generate-configure-certificate-letsencrypt/

Once Redash has valid certificates, you will need to configure WordPress to use https://redash-domain.com

Happy to help!
