Use mkcert to generate local self-signed certificates.

If the domain is publicly available through DNS, you can use Let's Encypt

On windows mkcert -install must be executed under elevated Administrator privileges.

cd compose/nginx/certs
mkcert --install
copy $env:LOCALAPPDATA\mkcert\rootCA.pem ./cacerts.pem

Website certificates

cd compose/nginx/certs
mkcert -cert-file web1.localhost.crt -key-file web1.localhost.key web1.localhost
mkcert -cert-file web2.localhost.crt -key-file web2.localhost.key web2.localhost

Docker compose

Start the configuration with

docker-compose up
