OpenSSL is a library for encryption and should already be installed.
There is also a tool called "openssl" installed that can be used to
create and inspect all kinds of certificates. The library and the tool
alone do not need to be setup.

What you want to setup is SSL support in Apache (which by default
usually uses the OpenSSL library) and install a lets encrypt
certificate. On a quick search I found this:
https://lostfocus.de/2015/12/letsencrypt-with-an-apache-vhost-on-an-ubuntu-12-04-server/
which to me sounds reasonable.

I only have two additions to this entry. In step 2 it is unclear where
the LE tool was installed to from the latter steps I assume it was
cloned to "/etc". Step 4 is the important one and depends on how you
setup your project configuration. I suspect you are not using
VirtualHosts so you should copy the existing configuration inside
"<VirtualHost *:443>" and add the lines starting with SSL to this
config. The existing configuration needs to be wrapped in "<VirtualHost
*:80>" and you should omit the Redirect for now. This will make your
project available via httpson a per user choice but will not enforce it
from the server side. If this is working you should decide what level of
SSL support you want for the project and configure it accordingly.

You could for example redirect every non-SSL request to SSL which will
detach all Windows Clients prior 7.4 from your project or you could only
make the website use SSL (via SECURE_URL_BASE and some redirects) but
leave scheduler requests insecure.
