You do that by adding exception or something similar.

The internet traffic will then be encrypted there - I found that fitting since I now also have a cloud on than box (already heavily encrypted).

Have you considered using Let's Encrypt to obtain a free trusted certificate? That will remove the need for adding an exception and will get you one of those green padlocks in the address bar. See https://helloworld.letsencrypt.org/ for an example.
