The "normal" way this was done before letsencrypt was with the 'snake oil'
local SSL CA/cert and self-signing. Obviously not suitable for production use,

worrying about talking to LE (especially in a postinst/root/possibly unattended
context) and a more appropriate initial state for a private/corporate install.
