+The HTTP component serves all files and data required for the Home Assistant frontend. You only need to add this to your configuration file if you want to change any of the default settings.
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+http:
+  # Optional, protect Home Assistant with a password
+  api_password: XXX
+  # Optional, disable caching and load unvulcanized assets
+  development: 1
+  # Optional, serve Home Assistant over a secure connection
+  ssl_certificate: /etc/letsencrypt/live/hass.example.com/fullchain.pem
+  ssl_key: /etc/letsencrypt/live/hass.example.com/privkey.pem
