Problem: We have our APEX running on a URL like 1.1.1.1:8023/ords and our browser thinks it's insecure and we cannot benefit from the browser features like camera, location, and notifications.

Solution: using Docker & Caddy we can easily reverse proxy to it

1. On your local machine... with Docker installed Pull Caddy

    docker pull caddy
   

2. Create a Caddyfile on c:\1 (or similar). The filename must be named exactly like this

    Caddyfile
   

3. In your Caddyfile paste the below three-lines of text, but change the IP address to the IP of your box.

    http://localhost:9000
   
    reverse_proxy http://1.1.1.1:8023
   

4. Now run a container

    docker run -d --name caddy -p 8999:80 -p 9000:9000 -v c:\1\Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile caddy
   

5. Now check out your APEX page on this URL

    http://localhost:9000/ords/
   

   

   Now the settings are unlocked

   

6. ENJOY

7. Helper commands

    # Start Container
    docker start caddy
    # Stop Container
    docker stop caddy
    # Remove Container
    docker rm caddy
