Notes

This template will automatically run both an HTTP and HTTPS servers on the ports you specify in config/.env (or use the default ports 80 and 443 if you omit the ports in the config). It has https-redirect enabled by default, which will redirect all HTTP request to the HTTPS server. You can disable this by adding NODE_ENV=development to the config/.env file.
