for complete Apache newbie, I have NextCloud and Monitorix running on my local server

https://192.168.1.2/nextcloud
http://192.168.1.2:8080/monitorix

and I would like to cover it via SSL, something like 1)

https://192.168.1.2/monitorix

or it could run on a different port, does not matter 2)

https://192.168.1.2:8443/monitorix

What to add/modify in apache2 configuration to do it?

Remarks:

Nextcloud has its own files in /etc/apache2/sites-available and /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
Monitorix standard install is probably using its own app/web server, not apache.

Do you have a domain name? HTTPS doesn't usually work with IP address URLs. You can't get a certificate for a private IP address like 192.168.1.2. See stackoverflow.com/questions/33419568/… and stackoverflow.com/questions/2043617/…

actually, no domain name so far, only internal network at this time.

So you are currently using a self-signed cert on your Apache server for HTTPS?

I removed the word "redirect" from your title and tags. A redirect changes the URL. If you redirect a HTTPS URL to the HTTP URL, the visitor will still see the HTTP URL in the address bar. I don't think that is what you want.
