How can I configure my Docker microservice to use SSL/HTTPS?

I have created a Docker microservice image using the 'compiler.package.microserviceDockerImage' workflow. It is working correctly, but I would like to configure it to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. How can I accomplish this? I have an existing private key that I would like to use.

You can configure your Docker microservice API to use HTTPS/SSL by postpending the "--x509-private-key" argument to the "docker" command you use to run your image.

For example, if you use this command to run your image:

docker run --rm -p 9900:9910 image-name

Then you can change it to the following:

docker run --rm -p 9900:9910 image-name --x509-private-key <FILE>

Where <FILE> is the name of the file that contains your private key, in PEM format.
