I'm late to this post but I have to say thank you for this guide. After spending almost the entire day fighting with trying to generate a pfx from a godaddy certificate and tearing my hair out as I simply couldn't find a way to get things to work, this guide worked first time within minutes and got me fully up and running.

Awesome guide. Exactly what I was looking for. The DNS vs HTTPS challenge was what got me stuck from the beginning. Guess I have to read certbot instruction/manual more careful.

Thanks a lot! I thought I would have to deal with injecting certificates to the docker containers in order to validate the domain ownership, but this article saved me from that :)
