¿How to configure to enable https protocol in docker dispatcher locally?

Question

Hello everyone.I am trying to enable https protocol in my local docker installation of dispatcher.I have created the certificates and installed it in the src/conf.d/ssl folder.In the mysite.vhost file I have configured the following.SSLEngine onSSLCertificateFile “../ssl/server.crt”SSLCertificateKeyFile “../ssl/server.key”.I get this error back:ERROR Tue Jan 28 10:52:13 UTC 2025 Configuration invalid, please fix and retry,Line numbers reported are correct for your configuration fileI found this article https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-dispatcher/using/configuring/dispatcher-sslBut I see that it refers to the connection of dispatcher to CQ and vice versa.Has anyone successfully configured local docker dispatcher with https?Can you tell me the configuration steps.Thanks

To enable HTTPS on your local Docker Dispatcher setup, follow these steps:
1. Ensure SSL Modules Are Installed: Make sure the mod_ssl Apache module is enabled in your Docker image. If it's not, add these lines to your Dockerfile:

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y apache2 ssl-cert
RUN a2enmod ssl

2. Modify mysite.vhost for SSL: Update your mysite.vhost configuration file with absolute paths:

<VirtualHost *:443>
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /path/to/ssl/server.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/ssl/server.key
    SSLCertificateChainFile /path/to/ssl/chain.pem  # if needed

    ServerName mysite.local
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>

Listen 443

3. Fix Validator Error: The error indicates that the configuration is being rejected due to unallowed directives. This might be due to Docker environment restrictions. If you're working locally, you can bypass this check and manually restart Apache in the container.
4. Test HTTPS: After updating the configuration, restart the Apache server in your Docker container and access the Dispatcher over https://localhost:443.
5. Ensure Correct File Paths: Double-check that the paths to your SSL certificate files (server.crt, server.key) are correct within the container’s file system. These steps should get HTTPS working for your local Docker Dispatcher.
