SSL termination for docker-compose deploy

Hi,

I've found open issue on SSL termination for AWX:
https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/1549 however there seems to be no
traction on it.

It is hard for me to believe community is running AWX over HTTP (vs
HTTPS). So the question is: how do people run *theirs* AWX with SSL? Is
everybody spinning up additional LB/proxies to handle SSL termination,
or hack built-in nginx?

Bring that simple . Add in compose file to spin up a nginx container with SSL termination to awx_web port 8052.

so that would be using "external" nginx to terminate SSL. I get that.
That is the most obvious option, but that's an extra entity to maintain,
not to mention that awx's nginx is still hanging out on public port 80.

thus I was curious about [re]configuring internal nginx, or perhaps
missing some obvious step in documentation someplace.

IS it the concensus that one needs to implement external SSL termination
and *not* use existing infrastructure?
