Support paths for SSL cert/key

[zumm]

At this moment nuxt supports cert/key only as content (NITRO_SSL_CERT/NITRO_SSL_KEY env vars). Can support of paths be added too? It would improve DX with using .env file.

This would increase the size of the default Nitro server, and it would have to include FS access, which wouldn't work in non-Node environments. But you can easily implement this yourself.

NITRO_SSL_CERT=$(cat server.crt) NITRO_SSL_KEY=$(cat server.key) node .output/server/index.mjs

Yes, but it requires extract running command from scripts section of package.json or make it cross-platform in some way.

Can dotenv dependency be updated to v15 for multiline value support at least?

.env file is not loaded with the production bundle of nitro.

You can create a server.mjs file for cross platform support:

#!/bin/env/node
import fs from 'fs'

process.env.NITRO_SSL_CERT = fs.readFileSync('server.crt')
process.env.NITRO_SSL_KEY = fs.readFileSync('server.key')

await import('./.output/server/index.mjs')

We shall improve documentation with unjs/nitro#85

Sorry to grave dig but I'm curious, could you clarify what you mean when you say non-Node environments?

For example, on Cloudflare, Bun, Deno or Lagon.
