Step 1

I dockerized some legacy php 5.3 app in some folder on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

docker-compose.yml

version: "3.9"
services:
  # docker-compose up
  # works with Mysql db and with Xdebug.

  mysql:

    restart: always
    ports:

    volumes:
      - dbdata:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:

I stopped these containers.

Step 2

Recreated the same folder in other location, set a bit different .env variables, ports and etc.., launched by

/var/www/wz/mipo-iqdesk-testing/davidson$ docker-compose up --build

Yet this time when opened in firefox

http://localhost:8889/ => https://localhost:8889/ => SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

I had no intentions to use SSL, same apache vhost.conf file worked in Step 1 yet fails in other location with SSL error.

$ curl --verbose -L http://localhost:8889
*   Trying 127.0.0.1:8889...
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 8889 (#0)

* Mark bundle as not supporting multiuse
< HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

* Found bundle for host localhost: 0x559b267feff0 [serially]
* Can not multiplex, even if we wanted to!
* Hostname localhost was found in DNS cache
*   Trying 127.0.0.1:8889...

* Closing connection 1
curl: (35) error:0A00010B:SSL routines::wrong version number

Then changed 8889 to 18889, rebuilt and http://localhost:18889/ was forced to https://localhost:18889/ with same error.

Any ideas?

firefox, chromium, and brave browsers force http to https on docker container localhost:8889
