Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/issues/43

Hello FiloSottile,

I'm trying to install mkcert on Ubuntu 18.04. I have already installed libnss3-tools and downloaded the mkcert tarball

apt install libnss3-tools

wget https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/archive/v1.0.0.tar.gz

I'm not sure how to proceed from there. Kindly assist me. Thank you.

Download the pre-built binary instead (https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/releases/download/v1.0.0/mkcert-v1.0.0-linux-amd64), make it executable (chmod +x) and use it directly (./mkcert-...).

This is what I'm getting.

root@ip-172-31-44-56:/home/ubuntu# ./mkcert-v1.0.0-linux-amd64
Using the local CA at "/root/.local/share/mkcert" ✨
Warning: the local CA is not installed in the system trust store! ⚠️
Run "mkcert -install" to avoid verification errors ‼️

Usage:

    $ mkcert -install
    Install the local CA in the system trust store.

    $ mkcert example.org
    Generate "example.org.pem" and "example.org-key.pem".

    $ mkcert example.com myapp.dev localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
    Generate "example.com+4.pem" and "example.com+4-key.pem".

    $ mkcert '*.example.com'
    Generate "_wildcard.example.com.pem" and

"_wildcard.example.com-key.pem".

    $ mkcert -uninstall
    Uninstall the local CA (but do not delete it).

Change the CA certificate and key storage location by setting $CAROOT,
print it with "mkcert -CAROOT".

Great, the commands run just fine. I have hosted an apache web server on
AWS and run the commands as indicated. The problem is that the web server
is still using http://ip-address instead of https://ip-address Any clue as
to what I'm doing wrong?

@NaiCity mkcert doesn't automagically setup your apache2 configs to use the certificate. You'll need to add that to your apache config.

Here's an example: https://www.digicert.com/ssl-support/apache-multiple-ssl-certificates-using-sni.htm

I'm sorry, but I can't provide support for all the web server configurations.

mkcert will generate trusted certificates for you. You have to configure your web server to:

use that cert and key
listen on port 443 for HTTPS
redirect from HTTP to HTTPS (if that's what you want)
possibly change links and resource addresses (if needed)
