I usually use this for generating SSL certificates for IP addresses - such as internally hosted applications, so they can be secured properly. You will need to manually install and trust the certificate on all clients that wish to access the service with SSL, and provide the cert & key to the service.

This is not a guide! It is simply a script I wrote in about 5 minutes to quickly generate certificates for IP addresses. It is very badly written but it works. Just about.

I won't be maintaining this unless the entire premise of SSL and self-signed certificates magically breaks overnight.

The issue is caused by an incorrect software catelog. As apple is releasing big sur thursday, they changed the software catelog to the production one. The problem is that the production one does not yet have the bridge os firmware for big sur just yet. So in order to update right now you need to change back to the devleoper catelog.
