Local

LoCAl is a daemon which acts as a local Certificate Authority. It can have a self-signed certificate and can issue certificates.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add local

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install local

Run exe/local to start the program.

The available ENV variables are:

An example configuration file can be found in the repository.

This repository contains a .ruby_version file for rbenv. To avoid errors due to a different Ruby version, I encourage you to use rbenv and, if necessary, install the version defined in .ruby_version.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
