One possible solution is to install WildFly and use the letsencrypt

some sample commands to use in the WildFly CLI that get you going with

I read (actually, re-read, I think) the presentation that Pete referred
me to, and there's very little that falls in the middle ground between
"completely self-evident" and "completely over my head."

Up until this morning, I'd never heard of WildFly. Looking it up on
Wikipedia, I see that it's the application server formerly known as
JBoss AS. That, I've *barely* heard of. Am I to understand that it will
run on a Midrange box? Is there a good tutorial for this?

We've got a V7R5 cloud box that I could probably use for experimentation
and for learning how to get that option working.

Pete suggested having Apache httpd front the server, but is there an
httpd for Midrange boxes?

He also mentioned OpenSSL. That's not even in our ecosystem (which uses
JSSE), which may be a good thing: doesn't the use of OpenSSL require the
now-deprecated Tomcat Native?
