SSL: Final Clean Up and Moving Forward

daily email push notifications

Our SSL setup works, but we need to do a little housekeeping to wrap everything up.

The generated certificates are dependent on your per-machine Mkcert installation. Because of this, we’ll want to ensure these files are ignored by Git:

# .gitignore
/localhost-key.pem
/localhost.pem
/public/rootCA.pem

Once this is done, bin/setup will consistently handle SSL setup for the project without adding unnecessary files to version control.

With SSL fully automated, we’re ready to move on to setting up notifications for our application.
