We will finally set up HTTPS access on our Wordpress Docker instance running on Google Cloud Platform. Although this shows setup for Wordpress, this will work for anything running via an NGINX reverse proxy. As usual, everything demonstrated in this video is free; in this case the SSL/TLS certs are provided by LetsEncrypt.

Commands to set up certbot:
sudo apt install software-properties-common && sudo apt update
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python-certbot-nginx
sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com -d www.yourdomain.com
sudo service nginx restart

Code snippet for wp_config.php:
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] == 'https')
$_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST'])) {
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST'];
}

Code snippet for nginx configuration:
server {
root /var/www/html;
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name yourdomain.com www.yourdomain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
