Just fyi, you can put whatever you want in /etc/hosts, it gets hit before the resolver. So you can run your website on localhost with your regular host name over https.

I use a https for localhost, there are a ton of options for that.
But yes, the cert is created differently in prod and there are a few other differences.
But it's much closer then in the cloud.
