local-https-server

local-https-server is a CLI tool to provide an easy way to run a local HTTPS server with their valid certifications and port-forward the trafic to another server running locally.

Installation

Use the package manager npm to install local-https-server.

``bash
npm install --save-dev @kenystev/local-https-server
`

Usage

`bash


run the server with default ports and auto-generated certs

local-https-server start

override the default port to HTTPS server

local-https-server start -p 3005

override the default forwarding port

local-https-server start -pp 3005

override the default certs' key to provide some custom key

local-https-server start -k ""

override the default certs key to provide some custom certs

local-https-server start -c ""
`

Note Make sure to add the .certs directory to your .gitignore file in order to not expose your cerdentials

Utility commands

by default after installation, local-https-server automatically runs the pre-required commands to install deps and setup the certs, but if anything happens or accidentally you have deleted the .certs directory created after installation then you can run independently the right commands:

`bash


Install needed dependencies to generate the certifications

local-https-server install-deps

Generate the valid certifications to run HTTPS server and put them in .certs directory

local-https-server setup-certs
``
