Hello there,

so i m using ubuntu 18.04 lts and i follow guide to install mattermost here :  
[https://docs.mattermost.com/install/install-ubuntu-1804.html#installing-mattermost-server](https://docs.mattermost.com/install/install-ubuntu-1804.html#installing-mattermost-server)

and work prety cool, but at the end i m using http, so now i need to isntall the https acess.

So i have this architecture :

So i first install my serveur with mattermost in http acess (no secure)  
So in second i install a second serveur with nginx reverse proxy.

so i put my nginx with ssl autosigned (but after i will added a lettsencrypt certificat)  
i m using a config files to configure a reverse proxy to my mattermost.  
So now i access to my mattermost using https with my nginx reverseproxy.

i got two server :  
NginxReversProxy (https acess) \<—\> Mattermost http acess

So do u think i have to https on my mattermost acess ?

or the reverse proxy make the secure good ?

what do u think please ,?
