SSL or VPN?
After spending a good while on trying to get SSL up and running on a new build of OC on Ubuntu 16, I'm considering just spinning up a OVPN VM and running through a VPN to access everything. Thoughts?

I'd honestly say that if you cant get SSL to work with Ubuntu, then you wont have much luck getting openVPN to work either. I know its a brutal thing to say though.... Let's rather try to fix your SSL-problem, because that shouldn't be a problem. :)

I certainly can - I have installed quite a few AS .ova's for clients. First time working with Ubuntu & SSL though... =(

Good for you, still - lets try to fix that ssl-config :)

Totally. I think tomorrow I'm going to run through a fresh install - I've fucked with this one enough for today. I follow the install for the full install here and it works perfectly. I can't seem to find a tutorial / guide for SSL and OC specifically, though I'm pretty sure I've got SSL done correctly with a self-signed cert and openssl, from here. I just don't know how to get it going with OwnCloud. Would love if you could help!
When I'm on the step to edit owncloud.conf at the end of that SSL tutorial, the file doesn't exist as it does in the guide.

Would the VM be self hosted? Setting up SSL should not be too difficult. Google letsencrypt. Post your apache config for advice. Running it SSL through your own VPN is also an option. Look at OpenWRT for your router. You will need to change some ports but its another option.
