A comment on Self-hosting in 2023: Nextcloud on Linode, or _?_ on _?_?. Parent comment

I'm confused about this part. The default Docker implementation and Docker AIO implementation expect you to have a website that you point to to make it work. They auto-get SSL certs against that website.

Has this not been everyone else's experience?

The docker image I'm using runs over HTTP just fine. The client can be prompted to use it manually. Since it's only internal, I'm dealing with it (and it doesn't share any passwords).

Is it a bad idea? Yeah, sure, but given that it's not publicly routable if you're attacking my HTTP port as far as I'm concerned I've already lost. So there's no security situation that internal HTTPS will change, as far as I'm concerned. If HTTPS was the thing that stopped something, I've still got a problem.

My greater surprise / confusion is that the way the comment was written, it sounded like that was the default implementation and that you were unable to change it (despite wanting to). This was confusing and didn't correspond with my experience.
