+When running WordPress with TLS behind a reverse proxy such as NGINX which is responsible for doing TLS termination, be sure to set `X-Forwarded-Proto` appropriately (see ["Using a Reverse Proxy" in "Administration Over SSL" in upstream's documentation](https://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL#Using_a_Reverse_Proxy)). No additional environment variables or configuration should be necessary (this image automatically adds the noted `HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO` code to `wp-config.php` if *any* of the above-noted environment variables are specified).

 If your database requires SSL, [WordPress ticket #28625](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/28625) has the relevant details regarding support for that with WordPress upstream. As a workaround, [the "Secure DB Connection" plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/secure-db-connection/) can be extracted into the WordPress directory and the appropriate values described in the configuration of that plugin added in `wp-config.php`.
