How to configure local SSL certificate and Rails application?

Question

This may be a two to one question.

• I have a Rails home / hobby application hosted on a Raspberry Pi and I was wondering if I could create a local SSL certificate for it and configure Rails to use it?

• If so, how can I customize the Rails / Puma / Foreman / Ubuntu app? Right now I am running the application with Foreman using the Procfile file:

  web: bundle exec puma -t 8:8 -p 3000
  worker: bundle exec sidekiq
  clock: bundle exec clockwork config/clock.rb
  

Answer 1

• Yes, you can. Here is the point explaining the process:

2. My procfile contains an entry that looks like this:

   server: rails server puma -b 'ssl://0.0.0.0: 3000? key = server.key & cert = server.crt'

, .

config.force_ssl = true 

config/application.rb
