Hello Apache administrators! In summary I have the following question: How do I correctly configure a reverse proxy that redirects to a website with HTTPS?
My set-up A RHEL server (host) with one virtual machine. The website is running on the virtual machine (also RHEL). Virtual host file on the host ServerName localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/html/ <VirtualHost *:80 > ServerName [my.domain.com] ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / http://192.168.122.246/ ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.122.246/ </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:443 > ServerName [my.domain.com] SSLProxyEngine on ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / https://192.168.122.246/ ProxyPassReverse / https://192.168.122.246/ </VirtualHost> Virtual host file on the virtual machine ServerName localhost <VirtualHost *:80 > ServerName [my.domain.com] DocumentRoot /var/www/html/ RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =[my.domain.com] RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent] </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:443> ServerName [my.domain.com] DocumentRoot /var/www/html/ SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/[my.domain.com][/fullchain.pem](http://nextcloud.jeroenverhoeckx.com/fullchain.pem) SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/[my.domain.com][/privkey.pem](http://nextcloud.jeroenverhoeckx.com/privkey.pem) Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf </VirtualHost> I installed the SSL certificate with certbot of Let's Encrypt and I got the message that it was installed correctly. Problem When I go to [my domain](https://nextcloud.jeroenverhoeckx.com/), Firefox tells me that the website isn't secure. Question What do I need to add to the virtual host file on the host to correctly pass all HTTPS traffic to the virtual host on the virtual machine? Ideally (if possible) I don't request for another SSL certificate or copy the certificate on the virtual machine to the host. I'm documenting all the steps on a blog post so others can repeat the steps that I make. You can find this blog post [here](https://jeroenverhoeckx.com/build-your-own-personal-cloud.html) (still work in progress / draft). Any help is appreciated! I searched on the internet but couldn't find any good documentation for this specific problem.
