š„³ Auto-Encrypt Localhost version 9.0.0 released
Bye bye, Windows.
ā¢ Windows is no longer supported as Microsoft is complicit in Israelās genocide of the Palestinian peopleĀ¹ and Small Technology FoundationĀ² stands in solidarity with the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movementĀ³. Windows is an ad-infested and surveillance-ridden dumpster fire of an operating system and, alongside supporting genocide, you are putting both yourself and others at risk by using it.
Auto Encrypt Localhost is similar to the Go utility mkcert but with the following important differences:
Itās written in pure JavaScript for Node.js.
It does not require certutil to be installed.
It uses a different technique to install its certificate authority in the system trust store of macOS.
It uses enterprise policies on all platforms to get Firefox to include its certificate authority from the system trust store.
In addition to its Command-Line Interface, it can be used programmatically to automatically handle local development certificate provisioning while creating your server.
Auto-Encrypt Localhost is licensed under AGPL version 3.0.

@nixCraft I cannot get <local_LAN_ip_address>:8000
, opened in a browser,
to work on my Android phone to open a GUI served by a computer linked to phone by #wifi on the #LAN. iOS is ok. #Android not. Is there a fix ? #localhost Cheers!
Hello #FediverseAcademicChatter group
I need your help for a privacy-focused local-host (run offline from my computer) transcription software.
I am (luckily?) collecting more interviews than I planned and transcribing manually is becoming a giant task, so it would really be helpful to have an automatic assistance.
ā¢ Removes OCSP stapling, as Letās Encrypt is removing OCSP support.
If youāre already using Auto Encrypt upgrade before May or your certificate renewals will start to fail. Upgrade now if you want to get certificates for new domains as new certificate requests are already failing.
This module is a drop in replacement for Node HTTPS module that automatically handles TLS certificate provisioning and renewal both at localhost (via Auto Encrypt LocalhostĀ¹) and at hostname (via Auto Encrypt with Letās Encrypt certificatesĀ²).
So, this is how you create a HTTPS server in Node.js that uses this module and automatically handles TLS certificate provisioning and renewal for you both at localhost (during development) and at hostname (during production):
import https from '@small-tech/https'
const server = https.createServer((request, response) => {
response.end('Hello, world!')
})
server.listen(443, () => {
console.log(' š Server running at https://localhost.')
})
(Yes, thatās it! I wrote a metric shit-tonne of meticulously-tested code so you donāt have to.) :)
š” Note that the localhost certificate support via Auto Encrypt Localhost is 100% JavaScript and does NOT rely on an external binary like mkcert or certutil.
Needless to say, KittenĀ³ uses this module under the hood and itās a big part of why Domainā“ can deploy servers so easily that donāt require any day-to-day maintenance.
In case youāre wondering why Iām spending so much time releasing all these modules, itās because I believe in sharing every brick of the house Iām building so others can easily build different houses if they want to. Iām not saying that what Iām building with Kitten, Domain, and Placeāµ will be the end all be all of the Small Webā¶ (the peer-to-peer web). And I want others to be able to experiment by building their own tools without having to go through the grueling development process Iāve had to in the past six years to build basic infrastructure.
