Hi @hitesh
There is a place to put your certificates, if you are using the multi-container version. If you are using the preview, I don’t think you can do it. The volume is /cert for the web container.
Once you put your certificates (for the domain you will use) then you need to publish the port (in the docker-compose.yml file). You need to enable the environment variable for MATTERMOST_ENABLE_SSL to true. Rebuild the containers (delete previous ones if you already ran it before by doing docker-compose rm and start new ones with docker-compose up -d
That should handle it.
For more details see here: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-docker
I personally used nginx reverse proxy docker image. But that’s because I needed to handle multiple sites in the same server.

Now i have installed this on VM. and when i do following configuration. It stops working.

Go to the General > Configuration section of the System Console.
Change the Listen Address setting to :443
Change the Connection Security setting to TLS
Change the Forward port 80 to 443 setting to true if you wish to redirect users that try to connect insecurely to a secure connection. If you’re using a proxy such as NGINX in front of Mattermost this setting is unnecessary and should be set to false
Run sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep ./bin/platform in your Mattermost directory to allow Mattermost to bind to low ports. You will need to re-run this command every time you upgrade Mattermost or it will fail to bind to the port.

After this i got this error

Was this with the 3 docker containers? As per this https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-docker
It seems like this is something outside docker containers?
