"npm run hot" fails to receive “https://localhost:8080/js/app.js" in browser

I wanted to start learning vue.js. First of all I upgraded Laravel (Remoteserver) from 5.8 to 6 to 7 and finally 8.58.

Node v16.8
npm v7.21.1
added <script src="{{mix('js/app.js')}}"></script> to my blade

compiling via npm run dev and npm run prod seems to be working but I seem to recompile everything manually if I make any changes.

npm run hot compiles without any issues but my browser it fails seems fail getting /js/app.js.

Console: Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://localhost:8080/js/app.js”.

I removed node_modules folder, cleared the cache and reinstalled npm and mix several times. Nothing changed. I dont know what to do know. I'm pretty close to set up a complete new project and start reprogramming my site from scratch. My guess are missing dependencies because of some issues while updating laravel

I guess I'm a step further. I disabled automatic redirections from http to https.

Now npm run hot actually seem to work when I'm visiting via http. I begin assume the entire project isn't meant to be on a live webserver.

No your arent supposed to use hot reloading on a live webserver. Hot reloading is for developing only.

const fs = require('fs')

//...

mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
    .postCss('resources/css/app.css', 'public/css', [
        //
    ])
    .options({
        hmrOptions: {
            host: 'mixhmrhttps.test',
            port: 8080
        }
    })
    .webpackConfig({
        devServer: {
            https: {
