Install LetsEncrypt SSL Certificate

[mdbook]

I've created a LetsEncrypt wildcard certificate that I'm using with my local DNS, and I want to install it onto my FreeNas system, but the UI for installing the certs is confusing and every tutorial/forum post I've found tells you how to use acme.sh to request AND install the certificate; however, I just want to install the one I already have. How do I do this?

You could look at the TrueNAS deploy script that acme.sh uses for ideas I suppose.
Is your intention to also manually update the cert whenever a new one is generated? To me that sounds risky.

Perhaps another route would be to compromise and use a specific cert for the NAS. I personally find the TrueNAS cert UI mindbogglingly unintuitive but when successfully set up it will just continue trucking along (barring unknown errors) without further action from you.

The documentation for my deploy script assumes you're getting the cert on the NAS itself, but you can run the script anywhere you can run Python. See:
