This was so intimidating that I'm just recording what I did so I can remember. Thanks to Conan Lai @letmelol for onsite assistance and this Mopsled...

I found the 'article' you suggested to look at on Archive:

Hello. So after a while using NFS can you give me an estimate of your monthly costs running a Node.js site on their platform. I have an account with them, and have used them as a 'play' site, for fun, everything PHP and static. Just an average hit count and a dollar amount would be great as Node, as I understand it is 'always running'. Right now. It is an offline (non-production) site so it is cheaper:
Here are my costs for last month:January 2020 Expenses
Category January
DNS Charge $0.20
Deposit Fee $1.19
Site Charge $0.31
Storage Charge $2.27
Total $3.97
Thanks for finding this archive, saved my butt! Got my website online thanks to this 😁
I live for these moments knowing many a tutorial saved me like this 😄
Thank you! I didn't realize the link was broken and just replaced it!
Hey Jen, just curious to know if you ever got the TLS certificate working? I'm trying to do this with my node app on nearlyfreespeech.
Thanks!
Hi; I actually ended up figuring out how to do this for my own thing. NFSN's provided tls-setup script expects the /home/public/.well-known directory to be served up at /.well-known on your site, and that's the main thing (as far as I can tell) that makes it not work well for custom daemons. For my thing, I happened not to need all of / to be proxied to node, so I set up more focused proxies to the specific subpaths I needed, and used the "Apache 2.4 Generic" site setting so that their included servers would serve up the well-known directory. I suspect that it'd be possible to get this to work with anything so long as that directory serves up files as expected so that the ACME challenges can go through.
Thanks so much for this note Ian! Seriously... it's called the ./well-known directory? Lmao.
I'll update the post with a note for others who are looking. Thanks again!
Hi there, oh gosh, I can't remember... I have to go and check!
Unfortunately I didn't. Let me know if you find out!
The procedure in the 2015 Blog post still works.
Great to know!
