How to run Gogs behind HAProxy serving https (SSL/TLS) connections

I run Gogs in a LXD container which runs behind HAProxy in another LXD container. HAProxy handles SSL/TLS connection (SSL Termination).

Note: Gogs is a Git service like GitHub or GitLabs. It is written in Go and normally used to host your own git server along with GitHub like interface and functionality (for free).

As you know, Gogs normally starts on non-standard ports so it doesn’t need super-user access. The following is a sample configuration ( custom/conf/app.ini ) for Gogs running internally on HTTP port 3000 while being served by a regular HTTPS URL (running on regular HTTPS port where SSL/TLS termination is provided by HAProxy):

[server]
DOMAIN           = gogs-domain.com
HTTP_PORT = 3000
ROOT_URL = https://gogs-domain.com/
DISABLE_SSH = false
SSH_PORT = 3333 START_SSH_SERVER = false OFFLINE_MODE = false
