Cannot access endpoints of https-portal

[lanluu]

Hi Community,

I am trying to bring the self-hosted Outline instance in my local Mac Machine to work, but facing some issues with https-portal.

My settings for https-portal in docker-compose.yml:

https-portal:
    image: steveltn/https-portal
    env_file: ./docker.env
    ports:
      - '8081:8080'
      - '444:443'
    links:
      - outline
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - https-portal-data:/var/lib/https-portal
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "service", "nginx", "status"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 20s
      retries: 3
    environment:
      STAGE: 'production'
      WEBSOCKET: 'true'
      CLIENT_MAX_BODY_SIZE: '0'

It is noted that in order to prevent the conflict of used ports in different local Docker Containers (yes, I am using multiple platforms in my machine now), the ports 8081/444 are exposed instead.

All associated containers are up and running well.

However, the both configured endpoints http://localhost:444 and https://localhost are still not accessible.

Any ideas? :-)

Thank you in advance!

You would need to access https://localhost:444(with the "s"). However https-portal is designed to be used with a domain name, so I'm not sure this would work either.

Hi, I did tried with https://localhost:444 - it did not work also. :-(

I had also read the docs of https-portal, and turned the settings of domains and stage as below:

DOMAINS: 'mysite.lvh.me -> http://outline:3001 #local'
STAGE: 'local'

It looks like that it does help, as I cannot access local portal at https://mysite.lvh.me:444.

You should try it on the regular port, I don't know how using :444 is complicating matters

[lanluu]

@tommoor yes, I also tried it on the default ports, it did not work for me also. Have you used it locally?

You can also use your own certificate and avoid https-portal completely, Outline will handle the SSL. This might be preferable if you're not hosting on the public internet anyway and is similar to how SSL is handled in development.
