Right, Certbot doesn’t work because of an issue with Python, however, it’s easy to generate the certificates elsewhere and inject them into the virtual machine.

There is, but the OS needs to be patched to fix a socket issue (see https://github.com/reactos/reactos/pull/4086 which was never merged because of side effects). The patch does seem to work for my use case and I had actually the site running on HTTPS, but a few hours later it become unresponsive. I didn’t realize that this was probably just due to the HN DOS. I will give HTTPS another shot later today.
