You would actually be wrong in your strong suspicion (as is easy to tell by any review of popular home serving scenarios/forums - homeservers with ssl are in fact very common, indeed there are turnkey virtual machines etc).

But the overall combination is of course likely to be small - server, calibre, calibre companion and ssl.

I use it (in general) for the same reason I have blinds on my windows - just for general privacy really. And why the certificate I can make myself is not equally valid to one bought from some random so-cal IT company in this context doesn't make much sense to me when I am simply trying to set up a simple tunnel from me to me.

But like I said, it's not important really and I thank you for your help. It is much appreciated.
