apache2 - Trick PHP running behind mod_php and change host and protocol

Question

I'm migrating legacy apps to docker and I need to "trick" php into thinking that it runs on the exact same environment as it used before.

Basically, the app used to run on an apache2 with mod_php and the PHP code does something somewhere that says "If you've been called with HTTP, set the link for the images to http."

My docker image is now accessible locally with http only. But I would like to still fake PHP into thinking that it has been accessed with HTTPS.

I suppose that Apache should rewrite the $_SERVER['HTTPS'] variable but I can't find in the documentation how I could do that.

Here is my current configuration for my app:

<VirtualHost *:8080>
     DocumentRoot "/var/www/app"

     <Directory /var/www/app>
         Require all granted
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
         Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
         AllowOverride All
     </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
