No need to change default values in the openssl dialog, hitting enter every time is sufficient. To access this server via restic use `--cacert public_key`, meaning with a self-signed certificate you have to distribute your `public_key` file to every restic client. The `--append-only` mode allows creation of new backups but prevents deletion and modification of existing backups. This can be useful when backing up systems that have a potential of being hacked.
