This is my setup so far:

Application Load Balancer and its listener

enter image description here

The purpose is to enable https on the load balancer's end. Then it will forward traffic to the target group which is a collection of docker containers.

At the moment the web servers running in the docker containers can only handle http traffic.

So it is how I define the target group:

But apparently it fails the health check:

My question is:

  • Is it possible at all to have a ssl-enabled loadbalancer to forward request in http to the docker containers?

I think I can restate my requirement in my question as:

I want https traffic to terminate at the load balancer and then forward to my docker containers in http.

To achieve this, I need to

1) Enable a https listener in the application load balancer

2) Make sure it will talk to the target group with http protocol

There is a example in Docker documentation about this subject How can I configure my load balancer to support SSL/TLS traffic?
