On using HTTPS in development, will it helo to use a custom domain name? Or just use localhost?

In production, what do you use, or do you Let's Encrypt every 3 months? I had found Nginx-le, but then I would need some Kubernetes orchestration?

I use let's encrypt on production as I found it to be useful without rolling your own SSL cert.

For your local development, I would use a development version of let's encrypt for https that is setup with docker. Which you can point it to a folder and swap it out when you ready for production deployment.
