Important: The Docker Compose infrastructure described in the main README uses an insecure, self-signed SSL certificate, which is pre-generated and stored publicly in the source code. This HTTPS implementation is thus ONLY suitable for testing. Frequently, SSL support is something provided at the hosting layer, and we encourage you to pursue this option when possible.
Nevertheless, we would like to find a way to streamline this part of the process as much as possible. There's been some progress to that end, and we encourage you to help push it forward if you're able!
For testing some functionality (e.g., social login via Facebook), some external services must interact with the Polis app via HTTPS.
To modify these settings, edit file-server/nginx/nginx-ssl.site.default.conf before building the nginx-proxy docker container:
edit file-server/nginx/nginx-ssl.site.default.conf
docker compose up --detach --build --no-deps nginx-proxy
