Redirect HTTP to HTTPS using local URL and docker server

Server Version#: 1.18.0.1944
Player Version#: 4.8.4

I’m running Plex from the public Docker image (thanks for keeping this alive!)

I’ve just finished setting up my PKCS#12 certificate in Plex and HTTPS is now working well. I decided to switch the Network Secure Connections setting to be Required. Now Plex server will not respond to connection requests on HTTP - just HTTPS. So far so good.

But instead of having Plex drop HTTP connections like it does. I’d like to configure the Plex Server to redirect HTTP connections to HTTPS. There doesn’t seem to be a way to configure this in Plex Server settings, and since this is the docker image there isn’t the normal selection of Linux tools that might help with the redirect at the OS level.

The Docker image is great, but I’m wondering if there will be any native support for HTTP redirects. Perhaps this would be added to Plex Server options, or maybe there could be a Docker Environment Variable to toggle this.

Let me know if there is a straight forward way to handle this natively in the Docker container. I know just enough about Docker to get the Plex image up and running, but not too much else yet.
