Thank you so much! SSLProxyEngine was the key. This tutorial covered my usecase and it was just what I needed. Much appreciated!

Thanks for the reply. I can see that the port is bound and I enabled the ports in UFW. I have a hybrid setup where the other two websites are run directly on the host without Docker and now I'm introducing a Docker container for the new deployment. All sites are running on the same ports with different domains, but the Docker one is the one with an issue. How can I have the reverse proxy acknowledge both the site on the Docker container and the sites run natively? Should I set different ports in the Apache site configs then use those ports in the reverse proxy?

I realized I didn't specify that the other two websites on the VPS are running directly on the host, without docker. I updated the post with that note.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I can access with curl inside the container. The problem seems to be with SSL and I can't figure out why:

curl https://127.0.0.1:8000/
curl: (60) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name '127.0.0.1'

I'm using the same certs that the host machine uses. When I bypass authentication with curl -k https://127.0.0.1:8000/ it outputs the contents of the page. I don't believe there's a VPS firewall since I have another service running on a higher-numbered port which is accessible from the outside.

 

I made a Docker container of a website that's difficult to deploy, and I can reliably deploy it on localhost on my personal machine. The container sets up an Apache server with all the files and config to run the website.

However, the story is different on my VPS running Ubuntu and Apache. I have two other websites running on the same VPS, each with different domains and running directly on the host without Docker. When I deploy the dockerized website, I can't access that site. I opened ports on UFW. The Docker container sets the site to run on port 8000, and I tried running a reverse proxy on just that site with Apache by defining a config pointing towards the internal Docker IP on port 8000, but no luck.

Now I'm thinking of running a reverse proxy, but I haven't found any guides covering my situation: routing websites on both the host machine and through Docker. nginx-proxy looks to cover only Docker containers, and the Apache reverse proxy couldn't access the Docker container.

What are my options here? I plan to dockerize everything eventually, but that will be sometime in the future and not right away.
