#### Create certificate
To create a certificate, first `cd` into your lnbits folder and execute the following command ([more info](https://kifarunix.com/how-to-create-self-signed-ssl-certificate-with-mkcert-on-ubuntu-18-04/))
To create a certificate, first `cd` into your LNbits folder and execute the following command on Linux:
```sh
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:4096 -x509 -sha256 -days 3650 -nodes -out cert.pem -keyout key.pem
```
This will create two new files (`key.pem` and `cert.pem `).
Alternatively, you can use mkcert ([more info](https://kifarunix.com/how-to-create-self-signed-ssl-certificate-with-mkcert-on-ubuntu-18-04/)):
```sh
# add your local IP (192.x.x.x) as well if you want to use it in your local network
mkcert localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
```
This will create two new files (`localhost-key.pem` and `localhost.pem `) which you can then pass to uvicorn when you start LNbits:
You can then pass the certificate files to uvicorn when you start LNbits:
```sh
./venv/bin/uvicorn lnbits.__main__:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5000 --ssl-keyfile ./localhost-key.pem --ssl-certfile ./localhost.pem
./venv/bin/uvicorn lnbits.__main__:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5000 --ssl-keyfile ./key.pem --ssl-certfile ./cert.pem
```
