hello,  
I have this setup: ubuntu with haproxy and let’s encrypt with many certificates, lxc containers with websites listening on port 80. If I browse using https everything works like a charm, but if I try with http they go in timeout, I would like they are redirected to https instead. Here is my haproxy configuration:

frontend http-frontend  
bind \*:80  
redirect scheme https if !{ ssl\_fc }

frontend web-ssl  
bind \*:443 ssl crt /etc/ssl/my.domain/my.domain.pem … and others certs  
acl letsencrypt-acl path\_beg /.well-known/acme-challenge/  
use\_backend letsencrypt-backend if letsencrypt-acl  
acl mydomain hdr(host) -i my.domain  
use\_backend mydomain if mydomain

backend mydomain  
mode http  
redirect scheme https if !{ ssl\_fc }  
server mydomain 10.204.177.89:80

any help?  
thanks a lot

If you see a timeout, you probably have some connection/network issues. Check firewall/iptables settings. Make sure you can actually reach port 80.
