Between 4.8-1 and 4.9-0, we backported zulip/zulip#20512 and started unconditionally installing certbot, resulting in /etc/letsencrypt existing in the base image, so this symlink never happens. This results in a broken symlink where the certificate should be.

root@70b1222620d1:/# namei /etc/ssl/certs/zulip.combined-chain.crt

Getting this on my self-hosted docker instance as well, even though I'm using an external certificate deployed by Nginx Proxy Manager to talk to the zulip container. I'm able to connect to the deployed URL, however zulip clients intermittently throw a self-signed certificate error.

@thelazyoxymoron You’re seeing something unrelated that you’re going to have to debug on the Nginx Proxy Manager side. This issue is about the internal Certbot support inside docker-zulip.

docker: Restore ability to generate SSL certs with LetsEncrypt.
6e82240 
Zulip Server 4.9+ regressed Docker setups by always creating a
/etc/letsencrypt directory in the top layer of the Docker container,
meaning it couldn't be symlinked over from the volume mount. Since that
volume mount has useful properties (providing and/or overriding
LetsEncrypt setting), restore it and copy the in-image configs into the
volume as defaults if and only if those files don't already exist in the
volume.

Fixes zulip#381.

Was anyone able to fix this or work around this?
I thought of using self signed certs in the container and using certbot on the host itself. But I dont know if this works with passing through to the container. With one Org this might work fine but I want to host several orgs with differrent domains where the main org wold be smth like: zulip.example.com anf the following ones org1.zulip.example.com ...
Maybe even a wildcard cert on the host to adress all domains.
Has anyone tried this or experimented with this?
