Certificates

These are the server-issued certificate and key files. Before using, the password needs to be removed from the key file with openssl rsa -in cert.key -out cert-nopw.key. OpenSSL will ask for the key password which usually is "atakatak".

Container use

First, get your certificate and key and copy them to a suitable folder which needs to be added as a volume to the container.
