Just in case it may be useful to others, here are two ways I run my Meteor app using HTTPS on my local dev system. IDE breakpoints work with both.
-
Pagekite. It’s a low-cost service. Set ROOT_URL to
http://localhost:3000
and load your site on your local dev system at https://[YOUR-PREFIX-THAT-YOU-SET-UP-IN-PAGEKITE].pagekite.me/ -
Caddy. It can be run on your local dev system as a reverse proxy. Set ROOT_URL to
https://[YOUR-PREFIX-THAT-YOU-SET-UP-IN-CADDY].localhost
and load it on your local dev system at that same URL. Installation and setup instructions are in this video.
