Is it possible to use real SSL certificates (Nginx/Apache) on localhost?

Question

I am trying to build localhost copy of working application to improve development process.

I am using docker-compose for that. Now I am getting an error during sending request from one container to another. I know that it is related to SSL check. I am using self signed certs for docker compose.

I dont want to change the code to disable SSL valid check. Is is possible to use real existing cert from web server on localhost? Or something like that?

Is adding your self-signed certificate to the Java trust store not an option? — not2savvy, Mar 06 '23 at 18:47

Can you pass your local certs folder to the Nginx container?

# docker-compose.yaml

services:
  nginx:
    volumes:
      - ./my-certs:/etc/nginx/certs

# nginx.conf

server {
  ...
  ssl_certificate     certs/public.pem;
  ssl_certificate_key certs/private.key;
}

Is it possible to use real SSL certificates (Nginx/Apache) on localhost?
