-The <i>multi_host</i> include LetsEncrypt salt code to automatically request and install the certificates for the public-facing hosts (API/controller, Workbench, Keepproxy/Keepweb) using AWS' Route53. If you will provide custom certificates, please set the variable <i>USE_LETSENCRYPT=no</i>.
+The <i>multi_host</i> include LetsEncrypt salt code to automatically request and install the certificates for the public-facing hosts (API/controller, Workbench, Keepproxy/Keepweb) using AWS' Route53.
+
+If you plan to use custom certificates, please set the variable <i>USE_LETSENCRYPT=no</i> and copy your certificates to the directory specified with the variable @CUSTOM_CERTS_DIR@ (usually "./certs") in the remote directory where you copied the @provision.sh@ script. From this dir, the provision script will install the certificates required for the role you're installing.
+
+The script expects cert/key files with these basenames (matching the role except for <i>keepweb</i>, which is split in both <i>downoad / collections</i>):
+
+* "controller"
+* "websocket"
+* "workbench"
+* "workbench2"
+* "webshell"
+* "download"         # Part of keepweb
+* "collections"      # Part of keepweb
+* "keepproxy"
+
+Ie., for 'keepproxy', the script will lookup for

+<pre><code>${CUSTOM_CERTS_DIR}/keepproxy.crt
+${CUSTOM_CERTS_DIR}/keepproxy.key
+</code></pre>
