Why is https not supported in manual-install?

[BerengarWLehr]

I'm running one ExApp for our Universitys NC-Instance in our own K8s-Cluster. Adding a deployment daemon into this setup would need additional fragmentation due to necessary separation.
I absolutely can see that it may be easier for others to let a deamon handle deploying containers but I know how to run my setup and would like to keep it that way.
What bothers me is that I can not use httpS between NC and ExAPP (

app_api/lib/Command/Daemon/RegisterDaemon.php

Line 76 in db0f559

$output->writeln('Value error: Manual-install daemon supports only `http` protocol.');

). Is there some explanation why? I could imagine that the docker daemon will roll out it's own certificates but we have our own certificate infrastructure that we can use for subdomains and so forth.
Maybe someone already has suggestions what could be done to allow a safe and encrypted communication between both ends when deployed manually?

Have you considered using a VPN for this?

I have not considered using VPN for this problem as until now I cannot find a reason why httpS would not be supported. I thought about just commenting out the lines and "just try it" but wanted to check in first as I assume there are is reason behind this.

The installation manual was originally made for the development of ExApps, that's why it doesn't have https

I guess we can close this?
