Using SSL on nginx in a Docker container hosted on Jelastic

Question

I have a Docker container with nginx running on Jelastic. From the container I used certbot to get a ssl certificate from letsencrypt. Finally I changed the nginx conf accordingly. I have not enble ssl in the Jelastic user interface.

When browsing the site on https it seems that I get the generic certificate of the Jelastic provider but not my own certificate, because the error is SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN the ssl certificate served is for the domain of the provider. But I have not enabled the ssl on the Jelastic interface ?!

So can I use a letsencrypt ssl certificate in my docker container on Jelastic and how ?

Thank you

It seems that you are trying to use custom SSL cert without public IP. In this case, all external traffic is going through the platform revers-proxies wich is providing platform shared SSL.

The solution is to use external IP.
