Neo4j 3.5 / 4.4.5 + Reverse Proxy + Docker + SSL does not work

Neo4j Graph Platform
1

Hello, i'm writing because of problem with neo4j.

My goal is:

  • Run Neo4j in Docker behind dockerized reverse proxy (nginx) using own SSL certificates (generated using certbot - LetsEncrypt).

Information/Steps:

All for nothing. Through the appropriate configuration of nginx, I was able to solve the known problem with WebSockets (wss://) but all the time neo4j service starts over http instead of https.

My last suspicion is that some option set in neo4j.conf is not entirely correct?

A hashed my configuration below:

Dockerfile

FROM neo4j:3.5.16

RUN mkdir -p /var/lib/neo4j/certificates
RUN mkdir -p /var/lib/neo4j/certificates/trusted
RUN mkdir -p /var/lib/neo4j/certificates/revoked

ADD ./certs/privkey.pem /var/lib/neo4j/certificates/neo4j.key
ADD ./certs/fullchain.pem /var/lib/neo4j/certificates/fullchain.pem
RUN cat certificates/fullchain.pem > /var/lib/neo4j/certificates/neo4j.cert

docker-compose

version: "3"
