Usually it's something like this:

# Generate private key
openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048

# Generate CSR
openssl req -new -key ca.key -out ca.csr

# Generate Self Signed Key
openssl x509 -req -days 999 -in ca.csr -signkey ca.key -out ca.crt

# Copy the files to the correct locations
cp ca.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt
cp ca.key /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key
cp ca.csr /etc/pki/tls/private/ca.csr
