SSL certificate on local Laradock Nginx project

Question

I need your help to set my Laradock (with Docker) using Nginx and SSL \"fake\" certificate on my local machine.

I have no idea how to setup it. Could you please help me?

Answer 1

To enable SSL with the current version of laradock (as of Nov 2019) with a self signed certificate you must enable it in the nginx settings. Inside the folder nginx/sites remove the comments below line 6 "# For https" :

# For https
listen 443 ssl default_server;
listen [::]:443 ssl default_server ipv6only=on;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/default.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/default.key;

restart nginx : docker-compose restart nginx and you're ready.

If google-chrome complains you can enable the flag at chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost to allow even invalid certificates.
