HTTPS support

[mvdbeek]

To use a self-signed certificate and HTTPS, start with -e USE_HTTPS=True.
If you have your own certificates, copy them to /export/{server.key,server.crt}.
If you want to use letsencrypt, start with -e USE_HTTPS_LETSENCRYPT=True -e GALAXY_CONFIG_GALAXY_INFRASTRUCTURE_URL =<your_domain>.

If you use HTTPS, you also need to make sure port 443 is available.
@zfrenchee can you add the more extended documentation you had in galaxyproject/ansible-galaxy-extras#103 ?

@mvdbeek we could enable https with self-signed certs by default. Any objections?

[mvdbeek]

Yes, we have no access to port 443 on the IFB cloud, but if we don't forward 80 to 443 people can still leak their credentials.

[mvdbeek]

Also for dev purposes a self-signed cert is very annoying, you'll constantly have to turn off verification (bioblend, requests, etc).

[bgruening]

Ok, thats sad but a valid reason :)

[mvdbeek]

It's a pretty selfish reason though, there's no real problem to to say USE_HTTPS=False ...

I trust @zfrenchee to update the docs after the merge.
Thanks a lot for all the work!

@bgruening I'm happy to -- would you be against a gh-pages branch to make a pretty website with docs for this project? I think that would be better.

[bgruening]

gh-pages are not needed anymore. Actually my plan was to use the new doc feature and convert the readme automatically to a webpage like @bebatut did here: https://github.com/bgruening/training-material
No time until know :(

[alexlenail]

That's what github pages is! We had the same idea!
