Create https for local development environment or localhost.
Sometimes you need https on your local machine to test some functionality of your application, like payment system, but some of them require a valid https. Like stripe. And you can’t use localhost to request a certificate from issuer like Let’s Encrypt, so your option is to create a self signed certificate authority (CA). This tool make it easy.
Just clone this repository by run this command:
git clone [email protected]:madeny/lhttps.git`
from terminal and do the following:
cd lhttps
composer install
php lh create domain.com
If you wish to add your rootCA.pem to your Mac OS trusted certificate, use the a flag --a
right after domain.com like so: php lh create domain.com --a
Your domain.com.ssl.key
and domain.com.ssl.crt
will be in cert/live
directory
Just update your nginx config with
ssl_certificate path/to/domain.com.ssl.crt;
ssl_certificate_key path/to/domain.com.ssl.key;
Right now only OSX and Ubuntu are support to create Certificate
But only Mac OSX are support to automatically add your Root Certificate Authority (CA) to the Trusted list
