you may look at the [paulczar/omgwtfssl](https://hub.docker.com/r/paulczar/omgwtfssl) docker image. it’s a docker container to generate certificate. additional in the readme you find hints how to use these certificates.

where did you get the error? blank browser page? browser page saying wrong certificate?

the docker gurus use [traefik](http://traefik.io/) or nginx (or haproxy) for this purpose.

that’s not a docker problem.  
an example setup with traefik in front of several docker container you can find here: [GitHub - ReinerNippes/nextcloud\_on\_docker: Run Nextcloud in Docker Container on various Linux Hosts](https://github.com/ReinerNippes/nextcloud_on_docker)  
some ideas about nextcloud cluster you find here: [Help needed to setup a NC14 cluster - #5 by Finalls](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/help-needed-to-setup-a-nc14-cluster/39707/5)  
everything in the diagram you can put in a docker container.
