Enabling SSL in Linux(Ubuntu)
Go to the folder where Ant-Media-Server is installed. Default directory is /usr/local/antmedia

If there is a service that uses 80 port, you need to disable it. If your system has Apache Web Server, you need to disable it first such a command below
sudo service apache2 stop
There should be an enable_ssl.sh file in the installation directory.
Call the enable_ssl.sh with your domain name
sudo ./enable_ssl.sh -d example.com
enable_ssl.sh script supports external fullchain.pem and privkey.pem files as in the following format
sudo ./enable_ssl.sh -f {FULL_CHAIN_FILE} -p {PRIVATE_KEY_FILE} -d {DOMAIN_NAME}
If you disable any service that binds to 80 port such as Apache Web Server, enable it again
sudo service apache2 start
Make sure that your domain points to your server public IP address in the DNS records
If the above scripts return successfully, SSL will be installed your server, you can use https through 5443. Like below
https://example.com:5443
ATTENTION: If port 80 is used by some other process or it's forwarded to some other port,
enable_ssl.sh will not be successful. Please disable the process or delete the port forwarding temporarily before running the enable_ssl.sh script above
