Yes. I do something like that. I have a VPS at linode that I use for all sort of things. I have several domain names. I bought a cheap cert for one of those domains, and use that domain for email (incoming and outgoing), https, etc. I use apache as a reverse proxy in front of calibre, with a url-prefix so apache can do its reverse proxy magic.

I suppose that now that calibre v3 supports https, users, and certs directly I don't need the reverse proxy, but I am too lazy to change things.

I did not find any information in the FAQ.

There isn't anything there. It is probably worth my time to add something like my first response as a FAQ.

And you are welcome.
