I want to use mkcert generated certificates into the ubuntu virtual machine inside the VirtualBox.

I try but no success

Chrome(on Windows 10) Error: windows does not have enough information to verify certificates

note - I installed mkcert using choco in windows 10 and generate certificates and then import them into vm.

info ---
Host: Windows 10
guest: ubuntu 18.04 Linux virtual machine in VirtualBox.
server software: apache2

Remember that your Virtualbox VM is a "different system" than your host. So your host's browser is not going to trust a cert that you generate inside the Virtualbox VM. So Installing the CA on different systems is the answer to your problem.
