There are a lot of questions about how to get an SSL certificate without a domain name - until LetsEncrypt starts offering that, this should work.

I still recommend registering your own domain (and using wildcard SSL if you care about hiding the domain - I discovered nip.io by watching the certificate transparent logs).
