Use SSL

Install mkcert​

Follow the instructions on the mkcert website to install mkcert.

Create a self-signed certificate​

In the .docker folder, create a folder called certs and create a self-signed certificate.

mkcert "*.dev.local"

Rename the files to dev.local.crt and dev.local.key

Configure apache​

Create a configuration file in the .docker/etc folder called httpd-vhosts.conf if it doesn't exist.

.docker/etc/httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:443>
  # ... Conf

  SSLEngine on

  SSLCertificateFile /var/www/.docker/certs/dev.local.crt
  SSLCertificateKeyFile /var/www/.docker/certs/dev.local.key
  SSLVerifyClient none

</VirtualHost>

If the file was not already created, you probably does not have any existing volumes, then add the following line to the docker-compose file.

.docker/docker-compose.yml
services:
  # ... Services
  apache:
    # ... Apache
    volumes:
      # ... Volumes
      - ${PROJECT_ROOT}/.docker/etc/apache/httpd-vhosts.conf:/usr/local/apache2/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
