I have been struggling to get my node-red container secure as it doesn't seem to like the settings.js. I have installed the SSL's in /data/ but I get the following error below. I have tried specifying in the config /data/fullchain.pem and /data/privkey.pem but still not working.

Any assistance would be great! I am manually copying the let's encrypt from the host but would love to automate it as well if anyone has advice.

```auto

I was able to get this working after changing it to /data/privkey.pem and /data/fullchain.pem and set permissions.
