Dashboard Local HTTPS Setup

This guide configures local HTTPS for the Bitloops daemon and dashboard.

1. Prepare Local Certificates​

Create or install the local certificate material required by your operating system and browser. Bitloops does not generate certificate authorities for you.

2. Enable The TLS Hint​

Persist the local HTTPS hint in the daemon config:

config.toml
[dashboard.local_dashboard]
tls = true

This tells Bitloops that HTTPS should be preferred for loopback dashboard traffic when the local setup is already in place.

3. Recheck The Local Network Setup​

bitloops daemon start --recheck-local-dashboard-net

Or open the dashboard directly:

bitloops dashboard

4. Force HTTP If Needed​

If you want a local HTTP run instead:

bitloops daemon start --http --host 127.0.0.1

Notes​

  • Dashboard bundle assets belong in the cache directory by default
  • HTTPS hints belong in the global daemon config, not in repo policy
  • bitloops dashboard is a launcher, not the long-lived server command
