Comment 11 for bug 1737642

It cannot be automated, for automation to work (via Lets Encrypt), the server has to run on port 80, which gets blocked by default on linux and is often blocked by antivirus/firewall on window. And I'm sorry but, hand waving and saying that "you just have to provide instructions to enable HTTPS" is not an acceptable answer. I know of no instructions a technically illiterate person can follow to enable HTTPs certificates for a server they are running on their home desktop that is likely to work in even a significant minority of cases, given that most home computers dont even have assigned domain names. If I'm wrong, I eagerly await a link pointing to such instructions.
