Support HTTPS #15

Open collinbarrett opened 1 year ago

I don't think you need HTTPS for security for what you are doing, necessarily, but I know it affects SEO. And honestly, it's a bit tricky even to get the site to load in my primary Firefox instance since I have it locked down to only load HTTPS sites.

Yep - agreed - i just haven't gone through the trouble of setting up the certs yet.

@collinbarrett I just looked and the way I'm using AWS, it will cost me $40/month to be able to use https. I'm going to poke around and see if there is another cheaper way to do it, but right now, there is no way i can spend that money. There must be a cheaper way to accomplish this though.

Ok, I figured out the cheap way to do it - I may give it a go this weekend. For (my) reference:

Yeah, I wouldn't pay $40/mo either.

One other easy button option I've used in the past is routing your site through Cloudflare. Their free plan allows client->Cloudflare connections to be HTTPS with a flip of a button. Cloudflare->server connections can also be HTTPS for free, but you have to install the cert on the server (a bit more fiddling).
