Encryption is half of what SSL offers, the other half being external validation
that the server you're trying to reach hasn't been spoofed.
I used to roll my own but these days I have audit compliance to meet, so I just
do things the OG way.
For those of you who need a cert on any modern Ubuntu, it's now a one-liner:
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache
Run that, follow the prompts, and you're good to go in seconds.

Of course it never hurts to do belt AND suspenders, so your encrpyted packaging
can offer a second layer of protection for critical needs.
