  • web.dev

    Discontinued The frontend, backend, and content source code for web.dev

    I think I explained myself badly. Im entering sites INTO https://web.dev that we make at work. Web.dev is basically Google Lighthouse and tests your website for basic performance, seo, best practices and A11Y.

    So for example I enter mycustomer.com and it tells me "avoid http redirects" because I didn't enter the https:// before.

    Hsts is included in one of our packages which also includes CSP settings and other security stuff, but barely anyone buys that.

  • devcert

    Local HTTPS development made easy

    The devcert tool (and its corresponding devcert-cli command-line interface) is very handy for creating a local root certificate authority that you control & your device trusts:

  • devcert-cli

    A CLI wrapper for devcert, to manage development SSL/TLS certificates and domains

  • acme-dns

    Limited DNS server with RESTful HTTP API to handle ACME DNS challenges easily and securely.

    If your domain provider's API sucks, or doesn't exist, or requires generating a password/key with more permissions than you're willing to give a script, look at acme-dns [1] and delegated DNS challenges:

    https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns

  • docker-swag

    Nginx webserver and reverse proxy with php support and a built-in Certbot (Let's Encrypt) client. It also contains fail2ban for intrusion prevention.

    Letsencrypt provide a really good service.

    I can recommend the docker image made by linuxserver in particular [0]. Makes Https a (tax free) breeze.

  • cert-gen

    Generate CA and self-signed SSL certificates usable in your browser for local development.

    > I wish there was a solution for those of us who develop web interfaces for embedded products designed to live on LAN

    There almost is! Instead of self signed certificates, use a certificate authority, and install that on the LAN's machines. https://github.com/devilbox/cert-gen

    You can use macOS Server or Active Directory to push out the Certificate as trusted.

    It's not perfect, but it's close enough for a LAN.

  • servercert

    Repository for the CA/Browser Forum Server Certificate Chartered Working Group
