I had thought of LetsEncrypt, but I was under the (mistaken) impression that SSL certificates are bound to the IP address as well as the hostname of the server. Upon further investigation, I see that SSL certificates are not IP address dependent.
I'll give it a try, thanks.

You can get a trusted cert for your home server. Look into LetsEncrypt.

Thanks to a couple of members of this list I was able to get Visual Editor working on my WikiMedia install.
Now I would like to run the wiki under SSL. Of course, as soon as I do, my browser complains of mixed content from the RESTbase server and won't load VE at all.
I am running MediaWiki 1.28 on a shared host, which means no access to node.js. So in order to run Parsoid and RESTbase I have installed both on my home server. As such, I have no way of getting a trusted SSL certificate for it; the most I could do is a self-signed certificate, which I am sure will cause as many browser complaints as the current mixed-content does.
My question is, what is the likelihood of getting this configuration to work under SSL?
