I recall the huge hassle I had trying to get ssl working when I had an own cloud, I was using a self-signed cert since I was the only one supposed to connect. it took me forever to figure out that Apache needed a virtual hosts entry even though I only had the one hostname. and of course, none of the graphical configure tools from yast would do that or make/use a self signed cert... best part is I wasn't even doing this for security, my ISP blocks the http incoming port on residential accounts, but not the HTTPS port...

someone should really make an hpr episode about self hosting and SSL
