This blog post is about creating a self-signed SSL certificate for the Nginx web server in Ubuntu 24.04 OS. A Self-Signed SSL certificate is just like the other SSL certificates with a certificate private key and cert file. The only difference is that certificate authorities do not trust the self-signed SSL certificate included with the web browsers. Self-signed certificate in most cases is used when there is no domain associated with your server, otherwise, if there is a domain it is better to use CA-Signed (Certificate Authority) SSL certificate. However in both cases with or without a domain(only IP address) we can install a self-signed SSL certificate. The CA-Signed can only be installed on a domain.
