Steps to reproduce

  1. Mounted files volume to software raid array on local machine, but separate from boot drive.
  2. Mounted owncloud location in container like the following: - owncloud:/var/www/owncloud
  3. Attempted to “Strict-Transport-Security” HTTP header to .htaccess through vim.

Expected behaviour

.htaccess file should update successfully and the security warning be gone after restart.

Actual behaviour

The .htaccess file reverts after restarting the container.

For a container setup, I would recommend adding those options to your used reverse proxy.

I simply use Cloudflare Zero Trust. Is there an option to do that through Cloudflare?

I’d also like to add that I’ve tried to edit the apache settings as well, as the documentation suggests, but the result is the same. The changes are reverted after the restart.

Update: I was able to enable HTTP Strict Transport through Cloudflare for the entire domain. This was done through the edge certificates section. Note to self, always look/Google before asking.
