Steps to deal with SSL certs.

1. Create a root CA key:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out containerCA.key 4096

2. Create a root CA certificate:

openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key containerCA.key -sha256 -days 1024 -out containerCA.crt

3. Create a container key:

openssl genrsa -out container.key 2048

4. Create a container CSR that specifies SANs (because Chrome is a pain).

openssl req -new -sha256
-key container.key
-subj "/C=US/ST=Kentucky/O=Container/OU=Container/CN=docker.container"
-reqexts SAN
-config <(cat /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf <(printf "\n[SAN]\nsubjectAltName=DNS:docker.container"))
-out container.csr

5. Create a container certificate using that CSR and specifying SANs:

openssl x509 -req -extfile <(printf "subjectAltName=DNS:docker.container") -days 1200 -in container.csr -CA containerCA.crt -CAkey containerCA.key -CAcreateserial -out container.crt -sha256

6. Import the container root cert in to your trusted root certification authorities.

7. Import the container certificate in to your Personal Certificates.

8. Profit.

Steps to deal with HTTPD setup

1. Copy the static HTML files in to /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/

2. Copy the container cert and key in to /usr/local/apache2/conf/

3. In httpd.conf, uncomment the following lines:

   • #LoadModule socache_shmcb_module modules/mod_socache_shmcb.so

   • #LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

   • #Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

4. In httpd-ssl.conf, make sure that SSLCertificateFile and SSLCertificateKeyFile point to the right location.

5. Copy httpd.conf to /usr/local/apache2/conf/

6. Copy http-ssl.conf to /usr/local/apache2/conf/extra/

DNS updates

Update your HOSTS file to deal with docker.container being pointed at 127.0.0.1.
