On the one hand it would be good ever all traffic used https.  On the
other hand it won't prevent someone from knowing what sites you visit
or what visiters are visiting your site.  All of your pages are
publicly known anyway.  Good to contribute to the https traffic
though.

Then I am still of the mind that I would not worry about using
https for it.  For your use case keeping it simple is probably the
better way to go.

That sounds like something that would be a good question to this list
with potential for a good discussion that many people might share an
interest.  Putting services such as web servers into containers is
becoming the best practice these days.  There are many ways to do it.
If you do please start a new discussion thread for it rather than
diverting here.
