mkcert is a simple tool for making locally-trusted development
|
||
|
|
certificates. It requires no configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using certificates from real certificate authorities (CAs) for
|
||
|
|
development can be dangerous or impossible (for hosts like localhost or
|
||
|
|
127.0.0.1), but self-signed certificates cause trust errors. Managing
|
||
|
|
your own CA is the best solution, but usually involves arcane commands,
|
||
|
|
specialized knowledge and manual steps.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mkcert automatically creates and installs a local CA in the system root
|
||
|
|
store, and generates locally-trusted certificates. mkcert does not
|
||
|
|
automatically configure servers to use the certificates, though, that's
|
||
|
|
up to you.
