how to setup https in nginx

Hi,

how to setup https in Nginx?

Thank you

I came looking for the same.

A local SSL/TLS option would be great.

Hi!

Vessel right now just uses localhost is used and differentiates concurrently running apps by using different ports. To accomplish what you're asking would take a more complicated setup that I don't intend to attempt.

Right now when I need/want to test HTTPS, I use ngrok, which sets up http and https for you.

Would you mind giving a quick explanation how to set ngrok up with Vessel to make https work?

I use ngrok every day! Simply this: ./vessel start ngrok 80 Im assuming ngrok is installed on the host machine, not within a container.

Ohhhh, well, now I get why it's not included, that simple. I expected like a lot more setup lmao. Thanks :)

I'm wondering if this would make sense to integrate? When you run ./vessel start a tunnel would be build automatically using APP_PORT, and destroyed again on ./vessel stop?

[madsem]

For the moment I just wrapped it into a function, with vessel secure option which automatically uses the APP_PORT of the current project to create a HTTPS url.

I've added it to my dotfiles: https://github.com/madsem/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/fish/functions/vessel.fish

It's in fish, but easily adjustable for bash for anyone who wants to use it :)
