HTTPS generally does not work with IP addresses - you need a domain name. Make sure your HTTPS docs make this clear.

@yuvipanda
It should be easy enough to explain that you need a domain name that can be reached by DNS. Is it sufficient to add this to docs/howto/admin/https.rst, or does it also need instructions on setting up DNS?

How to set up DNS will be different if access is via the internet, versus doing it on a private network.

Should I not pick this up myself because of the good first issue label?

Apologies for not getting back to this issue for so long! I have documented this as part of #328, hopefully that's clear enough.
