There are two options:
- issue a couple of self-signed certificates and place them everywhere in the trusted certificate store
- create your own CA, issue certificates in it, and place the CA certificate everywhere in the trusted store
Well, or if there is a lot of unnecessary money:
- order the "corporate PKI" service and issue certificates eventually signed by one of the world's CAs
The .local zone is reserved for zeroconf and other Bonjours so don't use it
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.local)
Change it to
some .lan or .mycompanyname before it's too late
As for certificates, use self-signed ones as suggested higher.
In other matters, you can use the https://www.freenom.com/ service and register yourself a free second-level domain (even for a year), with a free renewal (the main thing is not to forget to renew) and issue a full-fledged certificate using Let`sEncrypt.
