If you want to use ssl, you'll need nginx or similar sitting in front of it and proxying to hack-chat.
Say you wanted to access the client at https://<some_domain>/hacker-chat-thingy with an encrypted websocket at https://<some_domain>/bleepblippitybleepbloop .
Purposely not specifying the hacker-chat ports here as nginx link to it.
docker run -d --name hchat \
-e WSPROTOCOL="wss://" \
-e WSPORT="443" \
-e WSBASEURL="/bleepblippitybleepbloop" \
-e ADMIN_NAME="boop" \
-e PASSWORD="pass" \
-e SALT="2dSg4kS" \

Create nginx directory so you can easily modify the conf file. Then you'll want to have some user own that directory.
sudo mkdir -p /opt/docker-web
sudo groupadd --gid 1002 dockeruser
sudo adduser --no-create-home --system --disabled-login --gid 1002 --uid 121 dockeruser
sudo chown dockeruser:dockeruser /opt/docker-web
Start an nginx container. This particular one has self-signed certs already setup. The PUID and PGID need to match whatever group and user was created above, or another user.
sudo docker run --name web -p 443:443 --link hchat:hchat -v /opt/docker-web:/config -e PUID=121 -e PGID=1002 -e DH_SIZE=2048 -e TZ=America/New_York mcgriddle/nginx-self-cert
Kill the container when you see 'Server Ready'
Now modify the nginx conf in /opt/docker-web/nginx/site-confs/default to look like this
upstream websocket {
server hchat:6060;
}
# main server block
server {
listen 443 ssl default_server;
root /config/www;
index index.html index.htm index.php;
server_name _;
# all ssl related config moved to ssl.conf
include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;
client_max_body_size 0;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html /index.php?$args =404;
}
location /hacker-chat-thingy/ {
# https://github.com/McGriddle/docker-nginx-self-cert/blob/master/root/defaults/proxy.conf
include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
rewrite /reqs(.*) /$1 break;
proxy_pass http://hchat:8080/;
}
location /bleepblippitybleepbloop {
rewrite ^/bleepblippitybleepbloop / break;
proxy_pass http://websocket;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade websocket;
proxy_set_header Connection upgrade;
}
}
sudo docker start web
You should be able to access hchat now on https://<your_ip>/hacker-chat-thingy/
