As far as SSL on the site, it's coming. I put it on a few months back and it basically broke everything, so some additional care needs to be taken to emulate it. Also need to work with the forwarders, so that all the old links on this site that are http: don't become dead once we move to https:
You should be able to use nginx as a reverse proxy to serve the same content on port 443 with https encrypting the session. https://letsencrypt.org/ has made this remarkably easy.
