+## Create standalone with SSL enabled
+
+To enable SSL over SplunkWeb, you'll first need to generate your self-signed certificates. Please see the [Splunk docs](https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Security/Self-signcertificatesforSplunkWeb) on how to go about doing this. For the purposes of local development, you can use:
+```
+openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -passout pass:abcd1234 -keyout /home/key.pem -out /home/cert.pem -days 365 -subj /CN=localhost
+```
+
+Once you have your certificates available, you can execute the following to bring up your deployment with SSL enabled on the Splunk Web UI:
+```
+$ docker run --name so1 --hostname so1 -p 8000:8000 \
+              -e "SPLUNK_HTTP_ENABLESSL=true" \
+              -e "SPLUNK_HTTP_ENABLESSL_CERT=/home/cert.pem" \
+              -e "SPLUNK_HTTP_ENABLESSL_PRIVKEY=/home/key.pem" \
+              -e "SPLUNK_HTTP_ENABLESSL_PRIVKEY_PASSWORD=abcd1234" \

+              -it splunk/splunk:latest
+```

 ## Create standalone and universal forwarder
 You can also enable distributed deployments. In this case, we can create a Splunk universal forwarder running in a container to stream logs to a Splunk standalone, also running in a container.
