I have configured Nexus 3 in docker-compose with HTTPS support, webUI opens in the browser as [https://nexus.mycompany.com:8443](https://nexus.mycompany.com:8443)  
here is my jetty-https.xml file:

\<?xml version="1.0"?\> http/1.1 /opt/sonatype/nexus/etc/ssl/keystore.jks changeit changeit false false SSLv3 0.0.0.0 8443 

here is my nexus.properties file:  
application-port-ssl=8443  
nexus-args=${jetty.etc}/jetty.xml,${jetty.etc}/jetty-https.xml,${jetty.etc}/jetty-requestlog.xml  
nexus-context-path=/

My docker-compose.yaml:

services:  
nexus:  
image: sonatype/nexus3:3.63.0  
container\_name: nexus  
restart: unless-stopped  
ports:  
- “8443:8443”  
- “9443:9443”  
volumes:

- /srv/nexus/conf/jetty-https.xml:/opt/sonatype/nexus/etc/jetty/jetty-https.xml  
- /srv/nexus/certs/keystore.jks:/opt/sonatype/nexus/etc/ssl/keystore.jks  
environment:

ulimits:  
nofile:

hard: 65536

but when I’m trying to create docker repository it has URL [http://nexus.mycompany.com:8443](http://nexus.mycompany.com:8443)  
I’ve tried to user HTTPS Port Connector 9443 for this repo, but got an error in log

2025-05-21 09:57:07,347+0000 WARN [FelixStartLevel] \*SYSTEM org.sonatype.nexus.repository.docker.internal.DockerConnectorFacetImpl - Could not configure https connector on port 5001 for docker repository quay-proxy  
org.sonatype.nexus.bootstrap.jetty.UnsupportedHttpSchemeException: Unsupported HTTP Scheme: https

I’ve tried to add connector section in jetty-https.xml for 9443 in addition to 8443 but had same error.  
How can I set HTTPS connector for my docker repo without reverse proxy?

I found in documentation [https://support.sonatype.com/hc/en-us/articles/213558568-Could-not-configure-HTTPS-connector-for-Docker-repository](https://support.sonatype.com/hc/en-us/articles/213558568-Could-not-configure-HTTPS-connector-for-Docker-repository)  
Docker registries are required to use HTTPS. This message means that you have not configured Jetty with a keystore from which it can load a TLS certificate for the Docker HTTPS connectors.

But I have properly configured Jetty with keystore. Can you help me with this problem?
