In order to support Windows users and reproduceable environment, getting PWA to run inside of a container with https support would be very helpful.

Possible solutions:

Same as above.

Updating this ticket.

Current progress includes:

• PWA is running in a Docker container over https
• https was achieved using self-signed certificates and mounting them on the proxy container
• custom local url support, ie https://pwa-docker.local, using an nginx reverse-proxy to route the requests from the url to the app container
• PWA service worker confirmed working and the application is running as expected

Items still in progress:

• Automation script for setting everything up
  • Completed: adding custom host to /etc/hosts file; sourcing environment files; running docker-compose steps).
  • Remaining: automating certificate creation on Mac
• Mounting volume bridge between host project file system and container project file system without deleting build setup. This would allow the dev the ability to make changes on their computer and have the hot reloading feature of webpack reload their changes inside the container.
• Documentation
