Hello, I want to create a localhost HTTPS server with self-signed certificate bundled. To build distribution I use

installDist

. To setup an embedded server

.conf

is used. I created a

.jks

file and filled a config:

security {
    ssl {
        keyStore = "./backend/ktor/embedded/resources/keyal.jks"
        keyAlias = "keyal"
        keyStorePassword = "baaar"
        privateKeyPassword = "fooo"
    }
}

How to bundle a ktor server with

jks

to run it on another computer?

I can think of two options here • move the engine config to code and create the keystore dynamically during bootstrap or load from resource file

val keyStore = buildKeyStore {
        certificate("sampleAlias") {
            password = "foobar"
            domains = listOf("127.0.0.1", "0.0.0.0", "localhost")
        }
    }

 sslConnector(
            keyStore = keyStore,...
  )

• When server startup create the keystore file (once) and store in $HOME directory. The configure the keystore path as

keystore = ${HOME}/keyal.jks

. Here also you can use the buildKeyStore{} builder function to create the keystore file. Wish ktor allowed resource path in the config file.
