Comment on NPM and SSL for local use only

Maybe you could also try to generate your one SSL certificate and add it to your Android/Linux/Windows devices as root certificate 🤷🏼♂️.
That’s only a possibility, of you’re willing to do this to every single device that should be able to connect to your services
I am willing to do that for every single device I use, but how can I do that? I have 3 options to install (android 12): CA certificate, VPN & app user certificate and Wi-Fi certificate
I can download cert from NPM, I get 4 files, but only one can be installed (at least the way I tried)

This is what I do only because cryptography ids a big weakness of mine so I wanted to work through it to understand it. I ended up setting up a raspberry pi with Debian and went at it with guidance from a YouTube video. Notice I said guidance, to get started. From there, I built my own CA server and issue certs to my services, upload the certs to NPM and apply them to the services I need.
Documented every step of the way and made templates out of config files.
It’s not the sexiest solution BUT I have a way better handle on cryptography than I did before.

Thanks! This sounds like approach I would prefer, but tbh I’m overwhelmed with information and I’m happy my setup is working for now. I will defo look into local CA server when I get more familiar with everything.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
