Setting up a global redirect from http to https for Apache on ReadyNAS OS 6?

I was able to install Let's Encrypt on my ReadyNAS, using a post elsewhere on these forums.  Near the end of the install, I was prompted if I wanted to force all traffic to https, instead of http, and I foolishly did not choose this option at the time.

 

I'd like to go back and set this, just to make life easier.  How can I configure Apache2 on my ReadyNAS to redirect all http traffic to https by default?

 

Thank you!

    It can't be done through the web ui.

     

    Do you actually need this on your local LAN?  For remote access, you'd simply not forward port 80 traffic in the router.

     

    Note you can limit admin access to https (and that is done by default).

      I'd prefer to do it via Apache config, so that I know it works across all systems, and not via an outside source.  I can look up the process to configure Apache, but I am not sure where ReadyNAS OS stores this config.
