I mean, going back a decade might be part of the reason?
Configs having issues is like number 1 reason i like the setup so much..
I can configure everything on my local machine and test here, and then just deploy it to a server the same way.
I do not have to build a local setup, and then a remote one
Er… what? Even in today’s world with Docker, you have differences between dev and prod. For a start, one is accessed via the internet and requires TLS configs to work correctly. The other is accessed via localhost.
Just fyi, you can put whatever you want in /etc/hosts, it gets hit before the resolver. So you can run your website on localhost with your regular host name over https.
I’m aware, I just picked one example but there are others like instead of a mail server you’re using console, or you have a CDN.
I use a https for localhost, there are a ton of options for that.
But yes, the cert is created differently in prod and there are a few other differences.
But it's much closer then in the cloud.
