KIWI TCMS remove HTTPS and go to HTTP in Docker

I have a docker container, how can I most easily remove 443 and go to port 80 from Kiwi web.

I don't see anywhere a configuration file in the docker?

Solution

  • I removed the following lines from /etc/kiwi-httpd.conf in the kiwi repository and then recreated the docker image:

    # Force the use of ssl:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
</IfModule>

    Then Kiwi won't try to redirect to https anymore, so I can handle the SSL certificate myself before I proxy on to Kiwi.

    Just note that absolute links to Kiwi itself that Kiwi generates, for example links in the emails Kiwi sends out, will be http. Most of the time this shouldn't be a problem if you redirect to the same URL with https, but it could potentially be a problem in some cases.
