hi, i use greenlock-express to serve an webserver. in production environment, everything is fine but i need greenlock to work in dev/test environment using "localhost" as subject / SAN name but im not able to create a valid config using localhost.

using npx im getting the error message:

npx greenlock add --subject localhost --altnames localhost

error: valid hostnames must be restricted to a-z0-9_.- and contain at least one ".": 'localhost'

i also tried to directly edit the greenlock.d/config.json file but this also doesnt work.

regarding to the readme, i should be able to create a localhost certificate. whats wrong with my command.

You have to use a proper localhost domain.

I'd suggest using DuckDNS DNS-01 and manually setting a 127.0.0.1 address at the record.
