Which installation type you have choosen?

Best practice is to put a nginx in from of tomcat and configure SSL there.

You can just copy the example from the docker deployment if you used the zip deployment.

I'm using docker-compose. Sorry I don't know what ngnix is,

Do you have do some thing with keystores. I know you have to edit something from the docker-compose file but what do I edit or add.

To configure Alfresco with https you should have understanding:

What reverse proxy is and what it do? In docker-compose deployment the nginx used as reverse proxy.
How SSL/TLS works, what the ssl certificate/key is and where it goes from?

There are a lot's of articles, documentation, tutorials, videos in the Internet on this themes.

Then you will have this base knowlage, you'll easy understand how to take configuration from examples or installer files and implement it in your deployment.
