+- Create an env file, and add the env vars and save the file: `sudo nano .env`. Make sure to update the `IPV6_SUBNET` var to to a range that isn't already in use:

 - Run `sudo docker compose up` to generate SSL cert
 - There should be a new /certbot folder created at the project root, and the cert and key `.pem` files should be created at `/etc/letsencrypt/live`
 - After this completes, stop the containers `ctrl+c` and overwrite the `automatisch_letsencrypt_nginx.conf` file with the `secondary_automatisch_letsencrypt_nginx.conf` file's contents which has the 443 https and SSL configs: `cp https/nginx/secondary_automatisch_letsencrypt_nginx.conf https/nginx/automatisch_letsencrypt_nginx.conf`
