SSL section

At localhost, you don't need a certificate. On the production environment, there will be NGinX that handles SSL. Be careful, there is a chance that you will have to fight with your browser on local dev setup to be able to reach the site without SSL. Or, if you want, you can still set up NGinX locally as well and generate a certificate for yourself:

Generate certificate:

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 36500 -nodes

Note: use localhost as fqdn Note: your browser won't like that certificate. You have to add it to your browser's certificate store manually.

Use air to run it locally

Install:

go install github.com/air-verse/air@latest

Run:

air .
