Re: ***UNCHECKED*** Oracle Cloud APEX and Lets Encrypt

Hi.

Currently, you have to put something in front. Either a compute instance acting as a reverse proxy, or a load balancer I guess. From what you've said I assume you already know how to do this, but this is an example of using Let's Encrypt.

https://oracle-base.com/articles/linux/letsencrypt-free-certificates-on-oracle-linux

I recently did this myself on the free tier. :)

I've heard tell that allowing a vanity URL for APEX is something in the pipeline for the cloud database services, but I'm not sure how far the line that is, and I'm not sure if it will support Let's Encrypt. I'm guessing not.

Cheers

Tim...
