Completely agree. If you want a nice way to do this with a shared config that you can commit to a git repo, check out my project, Localias. It also lets you visit dev servers from other devices on the same wifi network — great for mobile testing!

Localias is built on Caddy; my whole goal is to make local web dev with https as simple as possible.

That only works on localhost, right? I am looking for a solution for intranet that doesn't require complex sysadmin skills such as setting up DNS servers and installing root certificates. This is for my customers who need to run my web server on the intranet while encrypting traffic (no need to verify that the server is who it claims to be).


Localias is not designed for your usecase and cannot solve your problem, sorry.


Without verifying the server identity, the encryption is useless.
