Local development with .local domains and HTTPSfree tier, from $8/mo▲84Hi HN! I'm Jarek, and I've built this tool that allows publishing .local domains on the local network using mDNS. It also has a reverse proxy that handles HTTPS termination and port forwarding. I'm working on adding more features, like an index page with all available domains or allowing proxy redirects, so you could redirect from HTTP to HTTPS.

Hey HN, Localias is a new tool that you can use to securely manage your local development servers. Use localias to securely proxy a local development server running on http://localhost:3000 and access it at https://frontend.test. Localias is built on top of Caddy, so it's secure and performant. And because it's built on top of Caddy, it will automatically generate and install a custom root certificate, and automatically generate and sign certificates for each of your aliases.
