SSL certificates

For development you can use autogenerated selfsigned certificates. For production you should use Let's encrypt or any other certificate authority

Generate selfsigned certificates and trust them

  http2-server --generate-cert --trust-cert

Add previously generated certificate to trusted

  http2-server --trust-cert --cert path/to/your.cert

Additionally you can try

letsencrypt-cli
