Install and configure free secure SSL certificate in NGINX web server in Oracle Linux cloud

SSL certificates are used to secure our website and encrypt the details sent to the server. We will use a free self-signed SSL certificate and configure the SSL certificate using the NGINX web server. We need the oracle Linux cloud instance and NGINX server up and running. This step is prerequisite for this tutorial. Please refer to below link to install the oracle Linux and NGINX server. https://www.tech4learners.com/2022/01/how-to-create-linux-instance-with-24-gb.html https://www.tech4learners.net/2022/01/install-nginx-web-server-in-linux-cloud.html Once your compute instance and NGINX are up and running, proceed with the following steps. First step is to create PRIVATE / PUBLIC keys using the openssl command. We are using the RSA algorithm as an encryption method.  Replace the <IP_ADDRESS> with your Linux instance IP ADDRESS. sudo openssl req -new -x509 -days 30 -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout private.key \-out public.crt -subj '/C=US/ST=Ca/L=Sunnydale/CN=<IP_ADDRESS...
