Cannot access Spring Boot API when it is deployed with https
Hi
When I run my Spring Boot application locally in IntelliJ or deploy it to docker desktop I can access my with the following link
https://localhost:8080/endpoint
This uses a Self-Signed Certificate configured like this in application.yml:
logging:
level:
org.springframework.web.filter.CommonsRequestLoggingFilter: DEBUG
pattern:
console: "[%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss - Z}] - %msg%n"
server:
port: ${PORT:8080}
ssl:
key-store: classpath:springboot.jks
key-store-password: xxx
key-store-type: JKS
key-alias: springboot
However when I deploy the application (Using railway up) with the above config I cannot access my API via the railway provided domain.
I keep getting the following response:
400 Bad Request
This combination of host and port requires TLS.
Also when I remove the ssl config from my application.yml so that my application uses http instead of https everything works like I want. But I'm told its better to have it run on https even if Railways domain is https.
FYI: I am completely new to Spring Boot and web security.Solution:Jump to solution
you need to run your app as http, there is no benefits to running it as https when railway handles https for you

I need to because there is no other option or because thats the (best) way to do it?
there is no other option your app needs to be running as http when on railway
