Make a file called “scriptmailssl.sh” and open the nano file editor. Paste these codes and save it!

#!/bin/bash

# This script takes the certs generated by Nginx Proxy Manager
# and copies it to the mailcow docker container.
# Before use, make sure you update the path to your docker data and locate which cert belongs to mailcow
