How to install SSL certificate on Nextcloud VM

I’m running Nextcloud VM by T&M Hansson IT and want to install an SSL certificate. I’m a newbie at Nextcloud, Linux, and SSL certificates. What is the recommended method for this? Thank you.

I don’t know about their prefab VM, but in most typical setups, you would use certbot.

isn’t it build in? @enoch85

p.s.: i prefere amce.sh (https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh)

Hope it helps!
