It should simple be a matter of configuration file changes.
I don't know how simple those changes are on your system. (I don't do
much with FreeBSD.)

Not quite so simple, as you need some security certificates. You can pay
for these if you want, or check out (for example) letsencrypt for free >self-signed cert's.

There appears to be a plethora of FreeBSD ports of ACME clients
including Certbot: <URL:https://www.f:reshports.org/search.php?stype=package&method=match&query=acme&num=500&category=&orderby=category&orderbyupdown=asc&search=Search&format=html&branch=head>

Yes, thanks for pointing that out. I'm using certbot, and it seems to
run happily without attention once set up.
I had to sort this a couple of years ago - running a web site at home
for a small choir, I found some members' phones were so security minded, https was mandatory. Chrome on my android tablet is equally annoying, as
it won't access what it thinks are unreasonable web ports; which I use
for marginal extra security. Some kit is too smart to be useful.
