Issue 2 – Installing certificates for your website / webapp inside a container
Solution to Issue 2 – You need powershell on windows or bash on linux. For Windows, add the following to your DOCKERFILE

RUN mkdir C:\cert

#cert folder contains the certificates MyCertificate.cer & myprivatekey.pfx. Add these to the docker folder /cert
ADD cert/ /cert

RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command \
certutil -addstore "Root" "C:/cert/MyCertificate.cer"

RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command \
certutil -importpfx -p "password" "C:/cert/myprivatekey.pfx"

RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command \ 
New-WebBinding -Name "YourWebsite" -IP "*" -Port 1234 -Protocol https

RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command \
get-item cert:\LocalMachine\MY\thumbprint-of-your-cert | New-Item 0.0.0.0!1234
