Quote: This specification defines a JSON-based file format that provides developers with a centralized place to put metadata associated with a web application. This metadata includes, but is not limited to, the web application's name, links to icons, as well as the preferred URL to open when a user launches the web application. The manifest also allows developers to declare a default screen orientation for their web application, as well as providing the ability to set the display mode for the application (e.g., in fullscreen). Additionally, the manifest allows a developer to "scope" a web application to a URL. This restricts the URLs to which the manifest is applied and provides a means to "deep link" into a web application from other applications.

Using this metadata, user agents can provide developers with means to create user experiences that are more comparable to that of a native application.

It looks like the following changes are needed to make use of the easy Automatic Cert feature in the Security section of  System Config.

1. Modify the cert template in /var/www/util/gen-cert.sh to specify CA:TRUE

Code:

basicConstraints        = critical, CA:TRUE

2. In /var/www/header.php uncomment / reenable the site.webmanifest file

Code:

    <!--link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest"-->

3. Contents of site.webmanifest (does it need to be modified?)

Code:

{
   "name": "",
   "short_name": "",
   "icons": [
       {
           "src": "/v5-android-chrome-192x192.png",
           "sizes": "192x192",
           "type": "image/png"
       },
       {
           "src": "/v5-android-chrome-512x512.png",
           "sizes": "512x512",
           "type": "image/png"
       }
   ],
   "theme_color": "#ffffff",
   "background_color": "#ffffff",
   "display": "standalone"
}

4. Create step-by-step instructions for installing the cert into Android and IOS Smartphone/Tablet operating systems.

5. Create step-by-step instructions for installing the cert into Desktop Linux/MacOS/Windows operating systems.
