Comment (by slyall):

 I did some further investigation and my site was broken for both http and
 https. I had jumped to the conclusion that https was the problem.

 Actual problem was that I didn't have php-xml installed.

 Setting up php7.2-xml (7.2.19-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) ...
 Creating config file /etc/php/7.2/mods-available/dom.ini with new version
 Creating config file /etc/php/7.2/mods-available/simplexml.ini with new
 version
 Creating config file /etc/php/7.2/mods-available/wddx.ini with new version
 Creating config file /etc/php/7.2/mods-available/xml.ini with new version
 Creating config file /etc/php/7.2/mods-available/xmlreader.ini with new
 version
 Creating config file /etc/php/7.2/mods-available/xmlwriter.ini with new
 version
 Creating config file /etc/php/7.2/mods-available/xsl.ini with new version

 Once that was installed both https and http worked correctly.

 Sorry for wasting your time on this.
