local-ssl-server

This program provides SSL termination to another server. This is a very simple way to achieve HTTPS on your local machine without changing any services.

Options

The following are default options:

  • port=8443
  • upstream=http://localhost:8080
  • cert=localhost.crt
  • key=localhost.key.

This will serve HTTPS traffic @ https://localhost:8443 proxying to http://localhost:8080.

If --cert and --key files are not found when starting, this program will generate self-signed certificates and use them.

NOTE: If a client reaching this server verifies the certificate, you will need to ensure the generated certificate is in your trust store.

SSL Certificates

This program will generate self-signed certificates; however, it's best to use mkcert instead. This tool manages a root CA on your computer and allows you to generate local-friendly certificates (host.docker.internal, localhost, etc.).
