To support SSL you would add a virtual host section like this:

    <VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName mysite.local
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile    /path/to/cert
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/key
        DocumentRoot /app/public
    </VirtualHost>

And either use a real cert or add a command to create a self signed one:

    openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key -out cert
