On: Easy HTTPS for your private networks

[andrewmcwatters]

If you absolutely need a hostname that is not "localhost" you should still configure your own host record and use a utility like mkcert.[1]

Most of the time, you really shouldn't need this, and your local HTTPS development should just require:

    mkcert -install
    mkcert localhost

In the directory of your app, etc.

If you're deploying private applications, these records should exist in your intranet DNS resolver instead.
