If you will always use SSL you can set "ssl": true in the .ember-cli file for your project which will result in the ember serve command using SSL by default without having to pass the command line flag every time.

By default ember-cli will look in an ssl folder in the root of your project for server.key and server.crt files but you can customize that as well with the --ssl-key and --ssl-cert options to provide an alternate path.

If you don't already have a self signed SSL certificate for development you can follow these instructions to easily generate one: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ssl-certificate-self

Example .ember-cli:

{
  "disableAnalytics": false,
  // Use SSL for development server by default
  "ssl": true,
  "ssl-key": "path/to/server.key",
  "ssl-cert": "path/to/server.crt"
}
