.net core web api app with https in docker

I have the simplest possible Web Api app in .net core ( with the default api/values api you get upon creation)

I've enabled HTTPS so in debug it works, and kestrel reports: 

Hosting environment: Development
Now listening on: https://localhost:5001
Now listening on: http://localhost:5000

When I run the app in docker (using the MS provided dockerfile), kestrel reports that it only listens on port 80

Hosting environment: Production
Now listening on: http://[::]:80

How to configure the app to listen on https as well in docker?

After making sure that you have EXPOSE 5001 in your app Dockerfile, use this command to start your app :

sudo docker run -it -p 5000:5000 -p 5001:5001
-e ASPNETCORE_URLS="https://+443;http://+80"
-e ASPNETCORE_HTTPS_PORT=5001
-e ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Password="{YOUR_CERTS_PASSWORD}"
-e ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Path=/https/{YOUR_CERT}.pfx
-v ${HOME}/.aspnet/https:/https/
--restart=always
-d {YOUR_DOCKER_ID}/{YOUR_IMAGE_NAME}

UPDATE :

Just use a self-signed certificate for debugging, here's an example for Kestrel : 

WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
    .UseKestrel(options =>
    {
        options.Listen(IPAddress.Loopback, 5000);  // http:localhost:5000
        options.Listen(IPAddress.Any, 80);         // http:*:80
        options.Listen(IPAddress.Loopback, 443, listenOptions =>
        {
            listenOptions.UseHttps("certificate.pfx", "password");
        });
    })
    .UseStartup<Startup>()
    .Build();
