# enable https on your local environment

## install mkcert and create certificates

```
brew install mkcert
```
```
mkcert -install
```
```
mkcert local.place-your-domain-here.com localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
```

Two `.pem` files will be generated. rename them as `domain.pem` and `domain-key.pem`

add `127.0.0.1       local.place-your-domain-here.com`  to your `/private/etc/hosts` file

## create nginx config file
```touch nginx.conf```

```
events {

}

http {
  server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;
    ssl_certificate ~/domain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key ~/domain-key.pem;
    server_name local.place-your-domain-here.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
  }
}
```

## run nginx

```
nginx -c nginx.conf -p .
```

now you can open `https://local.place-your-domain-here.com`
