Enable HTTPS for webpage

[evidenz]

Is there a way I can enable HTTPS for the service exposed?

We haven't built HTTPS support into the docker.
You could just use tools like Caddy to create an https reverse proxy (with automic let's encrypt certificate access).

Hope it helps.

Can I ask why you haven't? HTTPS has been the default transfer protocol for the last 10 years now...

If you only host one site on a single server, we could provide HTTPS support by default.
In case of hosting multiple sites on a single server, you'd better config HTTPS by yourself, it's my concern about this.

I think 99% of people just want to host their own. Even baking letsencrypt in would be a good idea.

PR is very welcome : )

Fastest would probably to use Caddy instead of nginx inside the Docker itself. 🤔

Unfortunately I'm not very interested in Docker itself or else I'd try this. 😇

As others have said, HTTPS is much better handled by the tools meant to auto-negotiate/renew the certificates rather than individual containers. I don't think any of my containers have their own https.

Fortunately, I use Caddy and have examples! I was able to get Pinry behind a reverse proxy and on HTTPS within seconds.
