A quick https-server

Are you tired of not being able to quickly and easily run https locally?

This script solves the problem!

Dependencies

1. This script is written in sh, but tested on zsh on Ubuntu 22.04.
2. openssl is required.
3. node is required.

On checkout

Install with

npm ci

Usage

npm start -- website/root/dir

Stop the https-server running with CTRL-C.

How it works.

• It creates a folder tmp in the current directory.
• It createds certificates in tmp using openssl.
• It runs the http-server module in https mode using the certificates.
• When you stop the server, the script automatically deletes the tmp folder.

What do you think?

I like this repo because it solved a niggling problem I had.

Do you like it? Is it a good idea? Do you have a suggestion to improve it?

Star the repo.

Raise issues. I'll get back to them when I can.

Thanks,
