Docker composer

To start dev env run:

docker-compose up -d

To stop run:

docker-compose down

Setup /etc/hosts

Edit you /etc/hosts file in your machine like this:

127.0.0.1 api-dev.example.com dev.example.com

Self Signed local certificate

To generate a local cert we use mkcert. Follow these steps to generate your local dev cert

mkcert "api-dev.example.com" "dev.example.com"
// Now we need to install the CA from mkcert in our machine/browser
mkcert --install

Copy generated certs .pem files to nginx/certs

Note that if later you want another subdomain you will have to generate a new certificate with that new subdomain. This certificate is only valid for:

1. dev.example.com
2. api-dev.example.com
