I've updated my original post for installing/configuring on the Oracle Cloud to mention securing with username/password as well as posted a link to a new post that shows how to set up CertBot with Let's Encrypt to generate a valid cert. Thanks for the feedback. Let me know if you do try out the always free VM on Oracle Cloud and have any other feedback or questions.
