Setting up SSL on Nextcloud Snap package on port 444

I recently installed Nextcloud using the snap package on Ubuntu 16.0.4. Due to my ISP provider I had to change the default ports to 81 and 444, I want to enable https with a certificate, since self-signing gives continuous warnings. However, after some research it does not seem the letā€™s encrypt can work with anything other than port 80 and 444. Is there a way to setup https with a certificate on a different port?

also I have had to manually type in the port and https in my browser window for it to connect properly, is there a way to fix that

I am sorry if this question has been asked, I could not find any answers and I am very new to linux, nextcloud, and web servers as a whole.

Hi,

A snap package is not very flexible. As such, I would suggest you leave the snap as is, on port 443, and use iptables to do port forwarding from any port you wish, like 444, to 443.

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 444 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:443

As for me, I have a pfSense firewall in front of my Nextcloud server. I used HAProxy to get a million time more control over SSL than what is permitted by the snap. I use HAProxy as an SSL accelerator at the same time, transferring the CPU load off from the Nextcloud server.

Have fun with your servers,

I am having a similar issue. I installed Ubuntu server and in the process I selected the SNAP for Nextcloud. I have found a few documents and they are not meant for the beginner user. I hope there is a solution that comes of this that has more explanation

What exactly is your ā€œsimilar problemā€? Do you want to setup SSL with snap? The wiki of the snap package is quite good as a start. Have a look here:
