Comment on How to configure an Ethernet connection between iPad and RaspberryPi with USB-Cparent

Comments

Raspberrypi.local normally works; (using the bonjour/avahi protocol for local DNS on both sides, which is set up by default on raspbian). Might be more tricky to get a proper certificate for https

mkcert can help with this! https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert

As one-time-setup you’ll need to serve the ROOTCA.pem from the Pi and download and install it on the iPad, but once you’ve done this once, any certs you generate on the Pi will be accepted by the iPad.

mkcert has enabled so many crazy setups and workflows for me over the years, it’s truly fantastic.
