-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.
+Copy your certificates to the directory specified with the variable @CUSTOM_CERTS_DIR@ in the remote directory where you copied the @provision.sh@ script. The provision script will find the certificates there.
-The script expects cert/key files with these basenames (matching the role except for <i>keepweb</i>, which is split in both <i>download / collections</i>):
+For a @single hostname@ setup, the certificate and its key need to be copied to a file named after @HOSTNAME_EXT@.
+
+For example, if @HOSTNAME_EXT@ is defined as @my-arvados.example.net@, the script will look for
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>${CUSTOM_CERTS_DIR}/my-arvados.example.net.crt
+${CUSTOM_CERTS_DIR}/my-arvados.example.net.key
+</code></pre>
+</notextile>
+
+For a @multiple hostnames@ setup, the script expects cert/key files with these basenames (matching the role except for <i>keepweb</i>, which is split in both <i>download / collections</i>):
* "controller"
* "websocket"
* "collections" # Part of keepweb
* "keepproxy"
-Ie., for 'keepproxy', the script will lookup for
+E.g. for 'keepproxy', the script will look for
<notextile>
<pre><code>${CUSTOM_CERTS_DIR}/keepproxy.crt
${CUSTOM_CERTS_DIR}/keepproxy.key
</code></pre>
</notextile>

+All certificate files will be used by nginx. You may need to include intermediate certificates in your certificate files. See "the nginx documentation":http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/configuring_https_servers.html#chains for more details.
+
+Make sure that all the FQDNs that you will use for the public-facing applications (API/controller, Workbench, Keepproxy/Keepweb) are reachable.
