Execute HTTPS Local development in 1 Step

Execute HTTPS proxy To Rails Apps in 2 Steps

Requirements

Install caddy the easiest way to download the binary
Have a domain/subdomain that points to 127.0.0.1/0.0.0.0/localhost etc.

To make a domain point to localhost we can use

hosts file (in mac iHost can be used for this)
dnsmasq

For this you only need 2 steps

First step

  caddy reverse-proxy --from anysubdomain.lvh.me --to :3000 --internal-certs

lvh.me is a service that always returns 127.0.0.1 as the dns configuration domain and subdomain

When you execute this step and go to https://anysubdomain.lvh.me you will receive a

To avoid this we need:

Second step:

  sudo bash -c "caddy start && caddy trust && caddy stop"

After this reload the browser and will be done!!!

NOTE

If you want to use it as service you can use the Caddyfile with your normal service manager. But if you only download the binary you can do

  caddy start --config Caddyfile

This will load caddy in bg and can be stopped with caddy stop.

Don't you need double dashes before those options? I did when I just tried it.

sudo caddy trust errors out on me as well, but I'm in a rush and didn't have time to debug further yet.

So i was already happy with my 2 steps command and i just realise that in the new version it became only one!

When i executed this:

caddy reverse-proxy --from anysubdomain.lvh.me --to :3000 --internal-certs

Already asked me to trust my cert this is related with the option --internal-certs. That was the only thing needed.
