I know it's all for good reason, but man are there so many hoops to jump through to get a web server set up through HTTPS. registering the domain, getting the SSL certs, configuring the DNS, setting up the firewall rules.. what a pain

That's like, 5-10 minutes work.

First time?

@C0D4 Yeah 😅 I'm getting through it, but it's a lot of new stuff to me. I hope I'll be able to get all this done in 10 mins next time lol

@Nar56 it gets easier in the 5th time

once all that is done and working, run it through ssl labs and get an a/a+

... back in the old days everyone laughed their arse off when you came up with SSL (no not TLS my dear youngsters).

The good old times where Apache was fucking IO intensive because most software had fewer code than .ht* files to override stuff for dubious reasons.
