Currently I have only gotten it work for normal sites thats not discourse, as I’m having subdomain issue just for discourse. But the way I enabled the SSL in HAProxy was just by simplify adding  
`bind *:443 ssl crt /etc/haproxy/certs/cert.pem`  
into your HAProxy config under your  
`bind *:80`  
As well as since I also changed my apache SSL Port to 4444, I had to add listening to SSL line  
` backend main_apache_sites server server1 *:8080 cookie A check server server1 *:4444 check ssl verify none #added backend discourse_docker server server2 *:8888 cookie A check`
