Create self signed ssl certificate

Generate a certificate signing request (this generates the privkey.pem and includes the public key in the csr):

openssl req -new -nodes > req.csr

Then convert the public key to a public certificate and sign it with its own private key.

openssl x509 -req -in req.csr -signkey privkey.pem -out cert.pem

If you want, you can also encrypt the private key:

openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -aes256 -out key.pem
