Answer 1

You are trying to run https over a port that has been configured for HTTP.

There are multiple options to get around this:

• Setup a proxy on your local server , such as Nginx. Setup certbot to generate your SSL and then serve this from your proxy.
• Create an ELB in front of your server, generate a certificate in ACM and add your server as a target (running http) to the ELB. Use the load balancer for SSL termination.
• Create a CloudFront distribution in front of your server, generate a certificate in ACM and forward traffic to your server as the origin (running http).
