In case you need an easy way to generate SSL certificates for localhost
, mkcert
is the way to go.
mkcert is a simple tool for making locally-trusted development certificates. It requires no configuration.
$ mkcert -installCreated a new local CA 💥The local CA is now installed in the system trust store! ⚡️The local CA is now installed in the Firefox trust store (requires browser restart)! 🦊 $ mkcert example.com "*.example.com" example.test localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1 Created a new certificate valid for the following names 📜 - "example.com" - "*.example.com" - "example.test" - "localhost" - "127.0.0.1" - "::1" The certificate is at "./example.com+5.pem" and the key at "./example.com+5-key.pem" ✅
Thanks Filippo Valsorda for this great utility.
