The reason CC requires a URL is that SSL certificate verification (almost always) requires a host name, not an IP address. CC does not support self-signed certificates. Actually, it is better to say that the underlying http library (apache) doesn't support self-signed certs without a bunch of extra work that I am not interested in doing. |
So basically I would need to use the same setup I would use for a private email server. I.e. get a host name from a domain registrar or one from freedns.afraid.org or similar service.
Get a CA from letsencrypt.org instead of using one of my self signed ones.
I did not find any information in the FAQ.
