Download and import the certificate in to Firefox as explained here and here

Importing the certificate shall fix the problem, however it is best to start pywb proxy directly to browse the archive files as explained here.

Then start the pywb proxy within docker while the same collection directory attached to container as volume, to make sure the same collection can be browsed either directly or through docker.

To browse current archives in my-web-archive collection through proxy: wayback --proxy my-web-archive

To record in my-web-archive collection through proxy: wayback --live -a --proxy-record --proxy my-web-archive
