HTTPS configuration

Self-Hosted | v5
1

Hi,

I have a problem with HTTPS. I’ve hosted invoice-ninja on docker.
When I set:

APP_URL=https://invoice.test.com
REQUIRE_HTTPS: true

and after running docker-compose and navigating to https://invoice.test.com I receive an error:

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

After changing:

REQUIRE_HTTPS: false

I can navigate to http://invoice.test.com.

My docker-compose:

version: "3.9"
services:
  invoice-ninja-server:
    image: nginx
    container_name: invoice-ninja-server
    hostname: invoice-ninja-server
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 443:443

      options:

        max-file: "7"
        labels: "hostname"

networks:
  default:
    name: invoice-network
    external: true

Do I do something wrong with the configuration or should I change something in in-vhost.conf file?

Best regards!

Hi,

@david do you have any suggestions?

You will need to configure the vhost file and configure the ssl certificate.

@david Thanks a lot! It works now.
