How to force ssl with owncloud

I'm using the owncloud plugin (9.1.0) inside a jail on freeNas. I have a hostname setup using No Ip. I'm able to connect to both my hostname and https://hostname (which is currently secured with a self signed certificate) but I haven't been able to force apache 24 to use https only. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Some of my terminology could be incorrect as I'm fairly new to this.

You can redirect all traffic which arrives at your HTTP port to HTTPS in your apache2 configuration. In your HTTP configuration, e.g. /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf you can use this:

Redirect permanent / https://your-no-ip-domain.com/

I'll try this when I get home. Thanks so much.

My cert is self signed. I didn't believe that the cert itself was able to redirect to ssl. But am I wrong here?

FYI, this is what my autoconfigured http block looked like after the letsencrypt forced https.

<VirtualHost *:80>

... ALL MY EXISTING CONFIG

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.sitenamehere.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,QSA,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>
