Manual https - how to forward from http?

Hello - using manual https (not letsencrypt) - I’ve got it so that https:// works fine, however an annoying thing that I’m finally tackling is that http:// just hangs. It appears to attempt to forward to https::8443 instead of :443.

I read through all the code and docs I could for proxy and http-configurable-proxy and have tried using helm to modify the proxy command to include

  --redirect-port <redirect-port>    Redirect HTTP requests on this port to the server on HTTPS
  --redirect-to <port>               Redirect HTTP requests from --redirect-port to this port

specifying 80 and 443 respectively seems to have no effect. Any ideas?

    manual:

        -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
        <mykey>
        -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
      cert: |
        -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
        <mycert chain>
        -----END CERTIFICATE-----

  secretToken: "<blar blar>"
  command: "configurable-http-proxy --redirect-port 80 --redirect-to 443"

      subPath: 'home/{username}'
  extraEnv:
    CHOWN_HOME: 'yes'
  uid: 0
  fsGid: 0
  cmd: "start-singleuser.sh"

seeing this in the debug output of helm install:

          command:
            - configurable-http-proxy
            - --ip=0.0.0.0
            - --api-ip=0.0.0.0
            - --api-port=8001
            - --default-target=http://$(HUB_SERVICE_HOST):$(HUB_SERVICE_PORT)
            - --error-target=http://$(HUB_SERVICE_HOST):$(HUB_SERVICE_PORT)/hub/error
            - --port=8443
            - --redirect-port=8000
            - --ssl-key=/etc/chp/tls/tls.key
            - --ssl-cert=/etc/chp/tls/tls.crt

Ignoring my values that I set?

Thanks for opening this here!

I suspect this is the same as https://github.com/jupyterhub/zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s/pull/1337 which was fixed recently. What do you think?

you’re right, very elite googling my friend.

Pardon my ignorance, but can you please comment on what you added to the yaml file to resolve this?

Thank you.
