Just deployed my docker image to Azure AKS and created nginx ingress controller. My image has the SSL certificate and handles SSL itself. So, I need a passthrough route to my container.

When I navigate to https://just-poc.live famous nginx 502 gateway displays as below;

Apparently, nginx couldn't find a route to send https traffic.

What should I do to make nginx controller to route the traffic to my socket-poc deployment?
