Run docker service on HTTPS

Question

Currently, I run a simple docker container by using the following files.

DockerFile

FROM microsoft/aspnet:4.7.1
WORKDIR /inetpub/wwwroot
EXPOSE 80
COPY i         


        

Answer 1

1. You need to configure your web server (inside the docker application) to enable HTTPS.

2. Open SSL port (443) on docker

   • You can consider using NGINX as a reverse proxy to your webserver and configure SSL in nginx
   • On a side, you can look at letsencrypt to get a free SSL certificate for your domain if this is a public site.
