+Generate self-signed SSL key/cert in the ssl/ folder:
+```
+cd /opt/picluster
+openssl req -sha512 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout ssl/picluster.key -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out ssl/picluster.crt
+```
+
+Edit the ```config.json``` file and enable SSL and specify the cert and key path, also in since this instance uses a self-signed SSL key/cert the ssl_self_signed has been set to true:
+```
+"ssl": true,
+"ssl_self_signed": true,
+"ssl_cert": "/opt/picluster/ssl/picluster.crt",
+"ssl_key": "/opt/picluster/ssl/picluster.key",
+```
