Set up react app to work with host domain in local development - kubernetes

Question

I have a create-react-app with minor adjustments to configuration (adding a set of aliases with react-app-rewire -- see config-overrides.js). I have added environment variables to my .env file: (1) HOST=mavata.dev; (2) DANGEROUSLY_DISABLE_HOST_CHECK=true; (3) DISABLE_ESLINT_PLUGIN=true; (4) GENERATE_SOURCEMAP=false; (5) SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true; (6) INLINE_RUNTIME_CHUNK=false. My index.js file simply imports bootstrap.js, a file that renders the App components into the root id div of my index.html.
When I try running the react app with npm run start with a start script of set port=9000 && react-app-rewired start it takes me to mavata.dev:9000 in the browser where the page will not load due to a ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR error saying "This site can’t provide a secure connection: mavata.dev sent an invalid response." I tried changing the start script to set port=9000 && set HTTPS=true && set SSL_CRT_FILE=./reactcert/cert.pem SSL_KEY_FILE=./reactcert/key.pem && react-app-rewired start after creating a certificate but get the same error.
When I try running the react app in my Kubernetes cluster using skaffold (port-forwarding), I navigate to mavata.dev an get a 404 Not Found Nginx error saying "GET https://mavata.dev/ 404".
How can I get my react app to be hosted over mavata.dev (i have it set to both 127.0.0.1 and 0.0.0.0 in my hosts file on my local machine)? Whether through npm run start or from skaffold dev --port-forward?

},
