Abstract
Generate a self-signed certificate for NGINX for non-production set ups.
You should not use self-signed certificates for production systems. It is recommended to use a properly signed certificate for production systems. These instructions are intended only for non-production setups.
To use OpenSSL to generate a self-signed certificate, run the following command:
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 3650 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/nginx/cert.key -out /etc/nginx/cert.crt
When prompted, complete the on-screen instructions for the required fields.
