Mixed Content Error Fix

Here’s how you can resolve this issue:

1. **Update Vite Config**: In your `vite.config.js`, ensure that the `server` configuration specifies the correct host and protocol. You can set it to use `https`:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
   import laravel from 'laravel-vite-plugin';

   export default defineConfig({
       server: {
           host: '0.0.0.0', // or 'localhost' if you prefer
           port: 5173,
           https: true,
       },
       plugins: [
           laravel({
               input: ['resources/js/app.js'],
               refresh: true,
           }),
       ],
   });

2. **Use HTTPS for Development**: When running DDEV, ensure you access your site using the HTTPS URL (e.g., `https://shareyourthoughts.ddev.site/`). This will ensure that your browser tries to fetch resources over HTTPS.

3. **Update Your Environment**: Check if your `.env` file in the Laravel project has the correct `APP_URL` set to the HTTPS version of your site:

APP_URL=https://shareyourthoughts.ddev.site

4. **Clear Cache**: Sometimes, browsers cache old settings. Clear your browser cache or use an incognito window to see if the issue persists.

5. **Restart DDEV**: If you've made changes to the configurations, restart DDEV to apply the changes:

ddev restart

After making these changes, your assets should load correctly over HTTPS, and the mixed content errors should be resolved. Let me know if you need further assistance!

export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
laravel({
input: ['resources/js/app.js', 'resources/js/app-backend.js'],
refresh: true,
}),
vue({
template: {
transformAssetUrls: {
base: null,
includeAbsolute: false,
},
},
}),
],
server: {
host: '0.0.0.0', // Allows access from the Docker container
port: 5173, // Port Vite listens on
strictPort: true,
watch: {
usePolling: true, // Add polling
interval: 1000,
ignored: ['**/node_modules/**', '**/.git/**', '**/storage/**', '**/vendor/**', '**/public/**'],
},
hmr: {
host: '0.0.0.0', // For Windows/Mac, use 'host.docker.internal'
port: 5173,
},
},
});

1. **Add HTTPS configuration**: Include the `https` option in the `server` configuration.

2. **Update the HMR (Hot Module Replacement) configuration**: Ensure that the HMR is configured to use HTTPS as well.

Here’s your modified `vite.config.js`:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import laravel from 'laravel-vite-plugin';
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        laravel({
            input: ['resources/js/app.js', 'resources/js/app-backend.js'],
            refresh: true,
        }),
        vue({
            template: {
                transformAssetUrls: {
                    base: null,
                    includeAbsolute: false,
                },
            },
        }),
    ],
    server: {
        host: '0.0.0.0',  // Allows access from the Docker container
        port: 5173,       // Port Vite listens on
        strictPort: true,
        https: true,      // Ensure Vite serves over HTTPS
        watch: {
            usePolling: true,   // Add polling
            interval: 1000,
            ignored: ['**/node_modules/**', '**/.git/**', '**/storage/**', '**/vendor/**', '**/public/**'],
        },
        hmr: {
            host: '0.0.0.0',  // For Windows/Mac, use 'host.docker.internal'
            port: 5173,
            protocol: 'https', // Ensure HMR uses HTTPS
        },
    },
});

### Additional Steps:
1. **Make Sure Your Environment is Configured for HTTPS**:
– Double-check that your DDEV setup is running in HTTPS mode and that you’re accessing your site using the HTTPS URL.

2. **Clear Browser Cache**: If you still see mixed content errors after these changes, try clearing your browser cache or using an incognito window.

3. **Restart DDEV**: After making the changes, restart DDEV for the configuration to take effect:

ddev restart

This should resolve the mixed content errors, and your assets should now load correctly over HTTPS. Let me know if you need further assistance!

1. **Enable HTTPS**: Add an `https` option in the `server` configuration to enable HTTPS. If you're using a self-signed certificate, you may need to generate one for local development or configure Vite to use the default one provided by DDEV.

Here's an updated version of your `vite.config.js`:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import laravel from 'laravel-vite-plugin';
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        laravel({
            input: ['resources/js/app.js', 'resources/js/app-backend.js'],
            refresh: true,
        }),
        vue({
            template: {
                transformAssetUrls: {
                    base: null,
                    includeAbsolute: false,
                },
            },
        }),
    ],
    server: {
        host: '0.0.0.0', // Allows access from the Docker container
        port: 5173,      // Port Vite listens on
        strictPort: true,
        https: true,     // Enable HTTPS
        watch: {
            usePolling: true, // Add polling
            interval: 1000,
            ignored: ['**/node_modules/**', '**/.git/**', '**/storage/**', '**/vendor/**', '**/public/**'],
        },
        hmr: {
            host: '0.0.0.0', // For Windows/Mac, use 'host.docker.internal'
            port: 5173,
        },
    },
});

2. **Check DDEV Configuration**: Ensure your DDEV environment is set up correctly for HTTPS. By default, DDEV should handle HTTPS automatically for your local site. Just make sure you're accessing it via the HTTPS URL.

3. **Clear Browser Cache**: After making changes, clear your browser cache or use an incognito window to test.

4. **Restart DDEV**: If you’ve changed any configurations, restart DDEV to ensure they take effect:

ddev restart

5. **Test Access**: Open your site in a browser using the HTTPS URL (e.g., `https://shareyourthoughts.ddev.site/`) and check if the mixed content errors are resolved.

Let me know if you encounter any further issues!

### Ensure Vite is Accessing HTTPS

1. **Check the Vite Configuration**: As previously suggested, make sure your `vite.config.js` file has the `https: true` option in the server configuration. This ensures that Vite serves the assets over HTTPS.

2. **Update Asset URLs**: If your application generates URLs dynamically, ensure that they are set to use HTTPS. This can be done by checking your Laravel `.env` file to confirm that `APP_URL` is set to the HTTPS version:

APP_URL=https://shareyourthoughts.ddev.site

3. **Access the Site Correctly**: Ensure you're accessing your site via the HTTPS URL (`https://shareyourthoughts.ddev.site/`). If you have previously accessed it using HTTP, some resources might still be cached in your browser.

4. **Browser Cache and Incognito Mode**: Clear your browser cache or open the site in an incognito window to see if the mixed content errors persist.

### Vite HMR Configuration

If you’re still experiencing issues, double-check that the Hot Module Replacement (HMR) setup is correctly configured to use HTTPS. This was covered in the previous steps, but make sure your `vite.config.js` includes:

hmr: {
    host: '0.0.0.0',
    port: 5173,
    protocol: 'https', // Ensure HMR uses HTTPS
},

### Restart DDEV and Vite

After making any changes, remember to restart your DDEV environment and Vite:

ddev restart

If you are running Vite separately, ensure to restart that as well.

### Test Again

After following these steps, test your site again in the browser. If the mixed content issues persist, please share any additional error messages or details so we can further investigate.
