Script to create (1) a local certificate authority, (2) a host certificate signed by that authority for the hostname of your choice
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# Usage: dev_signed_cert.sh HOSTNAME
#
# Creates a CA cert and then generates an SSL certificate signed by that CA for the
# given hostname.
#
# After running this, add the generated dev_cert_ca.cert.pem to the trusted root
# authorities in your browser / client system.
