Overview

Having read a number of guides on using SSL with MAMP I still couldn't get things working properly. This is my guide which takes ideas from a number of resources. As with the guides I'd previously read this may or may not work for you but either way I hope it helps.

Generate SSL Certificate

I imagine you can generate a wildcard certficate for all local sites but this didn't work for me so I generated a certificate for each local site individually. This method uses the subjectAltName field as this is required since Chrome 58.
Create the following file in your user folder and save as server.csr.cnf. Remember to change your Country (C), State (ST), Location (L), Organisation (O), Oganisational Unit (OU), Email Address( emailAddress) and Common Name (CN). For the common name I matched with my local site name as defined in my hosts file.

VAGRANT

Boxes

A Vagrant box is a base image that clones a virtual machine, for example an ubuntu server or a server containing everything to run a Laravel project.

Add a box to your computer vagrant box add VENDOR\BOXNAME.

Remove a box from your computer vagrant box remove VENDOR\BOXNAME.

LARAVEL HOMESTEAD

The Laravel Homestead virtual machine provides the ideal server configuration for a Laravel project.

With the Homestead repo https://github.com/laravel/homestead we can configure our Laravel (and non Laravel) projects.

Homestead is setup in the ~/ directory.

To run vagrant commands globally add this function to .bash_profile.
