How to make whoami example work with HTTPS and self-signed certificates?

Thanks for your reply @zespri. I agree with your comment about curl not being able to resolve whoami.docker.local. After posting I had added whoami.docker.local to the 127.0.0.1 entry in /etc/hosts on my laptop. This didn't work as desired but I don't recall the exact result.

Once nice thing about all of this is that it's pretty simple to start over and try again. So I spent time yesterday doing exactly that, and took perhaps a more incremental approach. I've published this effort on github: https://github.com/salderma/traefik-concept, the entire docker-compose.yml file is there, but I've put the relevant parts below:

  1. just HTTP over port 80 to the whoami container. :white_check_mark:
  2. switch external port to 9080, but keep Traefik's internal port as 80. :white_check_mark: 
services:
  reverse-proxy:
    image: traefik:latest
    command:
      - --entrypoints.web.address=:80 
    ports:
      - 9080:80
  1. put the whoami container behind /whoami url path. :white_check_mark: 
  whoami:
    image: containous/whoami
    container_name: whoami.docker.local
    labels:
      - traefik.enable=true
      - traefik.http.routers.whoami.entrypoints=web,websecure
      - traefik.http.routers.whoami.rule=HostRegexp(`whoami.docker.local`)"
      - traefik.http.routers.whoami.rule=Path(`/whoami`)
      - traefik.http.middlewares.whoami.stripprefix.prefixes=/whoami
  1. added HTTPS - file provider, certs volume, config volume, websecure entrypoint for 443, port map 9443:443. :white_check_mark: 
services:
  reverse-proxy:
    image: traefik:latest
    command:
        # setup https entrypoint on port 9443
      - --entrypoints.websecure.address=:443
    ports:
        # https port - backends to 443
      - "9443:443"

This part is resulting in a 404 page not found message with the following commands:

$ curl -k -H Host:whoami.docker.local  https://127.0.0.1:9443/
404 page not found
$ curl -k -H Host:whoami.docker.local  https://whoami.docker.local:9443/
404 page not found

I have run curl -v also and found that Traefik is serving up my custom self-signed certificate, so that's good. Past that, I'm not sure what the deal is. I've got logging turned on, but there's nothing relevant to the 404 result in the logs.
