JATOS on DigitalOcean HTTPS without domain

trig

Hi all,

does anyone know whether (and if yes, how) it is possible to use JATOS on a Digital Ocean Droplet and also have https encryption, but without having to use a domain name? Thus, the resulting study links would look something like https://IP/studylink..

Cheers

Hi,

I've never seen encryption with an IP address only although theoretically it's possible (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1095780/are-ssl-certificates-bound-to-the-servers-ip-address). Since you want to use it in your browser, you need one of the accepted CAs to sign your certificate and I doubt, that they will do that without an domain.

Best,

Kristian
