I have a PWA developed in NodeJS and ReactJS. I have used gulp to generate service worker using sw-toolbox. The service worker is working when I compile the app and visit localhost URL but my app is using apache config and I have a DNS route defined for it in hosts.

File /etc/hosts:

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
127.0.0.1 localhost myapp.domain.com

I have overridden default apache config and enabled my own apache config for the app which looks like:

File /etc/apache2/sites-available/myapp.loc.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyRequests Off
    ServerName myapp.domain.com
    ProxyPass /a http://microservice.domain.com/a
    ProxyPassReverse /a http://microservice.domain.com/a
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error2.log
    CustomLog /tmp/access.log combined
    Timeout 2400
    ProxyTimeout 2400
</VirtualHost>

How to enable service worker locally on my website? I have tried many articles but could not find any answer

Service workers only run over HTTPS / secure context – Lawrence Cherone Apr 26 '23 at 13:22
can I register it on http somehow? – Aditya Apr 26 '23 at 13:28

no, it's built into browser standards for security reasons, SSL is cheap and easy to add over the top, use lets encrypt or a proxy in front like cloudflare etc – Lawrence Cherone Apr 26 '23 at 13:41
