Before starting with the project, please do the following steps:
Enter certsFiles folder and run:
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout ./selfsigned.key -out selfsigned.crt
After you run the above command, answer the following questions:
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]: US
Email Address []: Your email
etc
If all went well, you should see two new files in the certsFiles directory, i.e. selfsigned.key and selfsigned.crt.
npm install
npm start
Visit https://localhost:5000 and you should see Hello World. You might edit index.js to change the port number.
You may see some SSL warning. That’s because the certificate isn’t issued by any verified organization. What you want to do is, add the crt as an exception to your browser.
