Self-signed and accepted by you should be fine. If you haven't tried it, you might take a look at Let's Encrypt. It's free and you can set it up to auto refresh certs as needed.

"Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open Certificate Authority brought to you by the nonprofit Internet Security Research Group (ISRG). Read all about our nonprofit work this year in our 2024 Annual Report."
