Install without SSL for local testing

[stephen.green]

I am installing EspoCRM on localhost for developer testing only. A live instance of EspoCRM would be on a separate server with valid SSL certificate.

The problem is, EspoCRM requires OpenSSL for security. However, I have already restricted my local Apache server to requests from 127.0.0.1, so my installation is as secure as necessary for a developer machine.

In short, I would like to install EspoCRM on localhost with OpenSSL disabled, no certificate. Is that possible? I see this Github issue, but no explanation for how to invoke the parameter "sslVerifyDisabled" during the install:

For comparison, WordPress also requires SSL for their "application passwords" feature, but still allows manual bypass for localhost installations:

Hi stephen.green,

You can easily install EspoCRM on localhost without SSL certificate and use it in HTTP mode for testing purposes.
There is the possibility to install EspoCRM by using scrip:

https://docs.espocrm.com/administration/installation-by-script/#installation

This script automatically installs latest EspoCRM as a Docker image with NGINX server and MySQL database.

Thank you, I wasn't aware of that alternative path for installation.
