* Deploy
* Make public as front controller for your sites in HTTP only

How you accomplish this will vary from place to place. For instance, my use case is
* Kubernetes
* Kong docker (not kong-ingress)

I have a `LoadBalancer` service pushing traffic into Kong from the outside world. Kong's deployment contains one pod with two containers: Kong (responding on SSL only) and SSL Redirect (responding on HTTP).

## Whyyyyy
I made this little container to get around Kong's inability to upgrade HTTP connections to HTTPS - there are third party plugins for this, but since I run Kong in Kubernetes there's no easy way to add these plugins without needing to re-build the containers and publish them to a container registry.
