Research direction

No file or test is named; start by locating the repository's docker-compose container configuration and inspect how development certificates are mounted. Check mkcert -CAROOT, copy rootCA.pem into the work directory, mount it at /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/rootCA.crt, and run update-ca-certificates as root. Done means federation debugging containers trust the mkcert CA.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

For debugging federation, it would be nice to trust the mkcert CA also in the containers.

  • Get the ca path: mkcert -CAROOT
  • Copy the root ca to our work directory
  • Mount rootCA.pem to /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/rootCA.crt
  • Run update-ca-certificates as root

Leaving it here as an idea.
I trusted the certificates manually for now.
