  # like Traefik, HAProxy, or Nginx.
  # Options: [true, false]
  # Default: true 
  enabled: true

  # String. Directory in which to store LetsEncrypt certificates.
  # It is a good move to make this a sub-path within your storage directory, as it makes

  # Examples: ["/home/gotosocial/storage/certs", "/acmecerts"]
  # Default: "/gotosocial/storage/certs"
