Running one’s own root Certificate Authority in 2023
Looks like step-ca/step-cli [1] and mkcert [2] have been mentioned. Another related tool is XCA [3] - a gui tool to manage CAs and server/client TLS certificates. It takes off some of the tedium in using openssl cli directly. It also stores the certs and keys in an encrypted database. It doesn't solve the problem of getting the root CA certificate into the system store or of hosting the revocation list. I use XCA to create and store the root CA. Intermediate CAs signed with it are passed to other issuers like vault and step-issuer.

Easy HTTPS for your private networks
I've been pretty frustrated with how private CAs are supported. Your private root CA can be maliciously used to MITM every domain on the Internet, even though you intend to use it for only a couple domain names. Most people forget to set Name Constraints when they create these and many helper tools lack support [1][2]. Worse, browser support for Name Constraints has been slow [3] and support isn't well tracked [4]. Public CAs give you certificate transparency and you can subscribe to events to detect mis-issuance. Some hosted private CAs like AWS's offer logs [5], but DIY setups don't.
Even still, there are a lot of folks happily using private CAs, they aren't the target audience for this initial release.

uBlock (via EasyList) now blocks domains that resolve to localhost
> if you're developing software you should probably be running without any addons like uBlock enabled to prevent surprises in production for your non-uBlock users.
It seems to me there's a higher risk that uBlock blocks something and break something than uBlock making something work that wouldn't for people not having it. I once had a filter block something called /share/ or share.js, fortunately I noticed during the development.
> Besides that, you can't get HTTPS for these domains (without the mess of a custom CA and even then you'll run into CT issues)
Indeed. I recently had to do this and found mkcert [1] which makes it very easy to do. But it's overkill for most situations.

Managing local SSL certificates without port
As I like automation scripts, I have created a script to automate to create local certifications (supported by mkcert) and remove the PORT's from the url through a proxy with Docker image base on Nginx.

My "Reverse proxy server for noobs" project is now open source
For local domains you can (must) create your own Certificate Authority and use that. Start here. There are plenty of other options if you want to look for them. This should give you everything you need, though.

The Fascinating World of HTTP Strict-Transport-Security
FYI you should use .test for this, which is allotted by some RFC as an internal TLD and should therefore be guaranteed never to be a real one.
e.g. we use `https://www.splitgraph.test` for local development, which is nice because we avoid a whole class of "works in dev" bugs that you get with `http://localhost:3001`
For certificates we use a self-signed certificate signed by a root cert generated by mkcert [0]
