Hi,  
I have installed Mattermost with Docker following [the One-line Docker Install](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/blob/master/doc/install/Docker-Single-Container.md#one-line-docker-install). Amazing.

Now, is there a way to enable SSL (or maybe I should state HTTPS?) to protect the sessions to the server with encryption?

thank you  
Gustavo.

hum, as stated in this post:  
[http://docs.mattermost.com/install/prod-ubuntu.html](http://docs.mattermost.com/install/prod-ubuntu.html)

> We use Nginx for proxying request to the Mattermost Server. The main benefits are:

> - http to https redirect
> - Port mapping :80 to :8065
> - Standard request logs

I guess I need to check if the docker installation has Nginx in it.

The one-line Docker install is designed for only a preview, not production. Please see [install guides](http://www.mattermost.org/installation/) and find the production Docker deployment created by the community as a starting point for what I believe you want to set up?
