As far as I know, this app does file encryption on the server. f.e. if you lo your password (-salt) you will loose all your data.

This is, I assume, an Apache... which has nothing to do how OC works.

Correct! you can get you own selfsigned cert or get one from a official authority. as you like.

No, you can use any port you like, thats just how Apache will work. (maybe some browsers wont recognize its https though, but most should...)

For what? for a ssl setup ??? You should just use your searchengine of choice and search for "apache ssl setup", and maybe as additional keyword the system you use... suse, debian or what ever...

As suggested above... you are apparently asking questions for your apache setup which is not the right place here. 
Use a search engine and search for "apache server setup" or something similar... OC will work on pretty any webserver that has PHP properly working.

Hope that helped...
