Enabling SSL on webserver running on AWS EC2/Docker

Question

I currently have a docker container hosted on ec2 and running a web server. The IP Address resolves perfectly when running it with just the IP address not using https but, when I put in the DNS it does not work. I am currently have the node port mapped to port 80 in the initial dockerfile. Then I mapped port 80 to port 443 in hopes on creating a Load Balancer using a certificate from ACM. This is not a docker issue and I was hoping someone had some insight on how to configure a Load Balancer to use SSL to talk back to my web server that has port 80 exposed. When putting domain.io:443 I get the nginx screen.

Answer 1

configure a Load Balancer to use SSL to talk back to my web server that has port 80 exposed.

For that you require to setup HTTPS in your target group, not HTTP. Also it requires self-signed certificate SSL on the container to server the HTTPS traffic.
