        Version: ...
        Serial Number:
            ...
    Signature Algorithm: ...

6. Copy Encryption Certificate

sudo \cp -f privkey.pem /volume1/docker/gitlab/gitlab/certs/gitlab.key;
sudo \cp -f fullchain.pem /volume1/docker/gitlab/gitlab/certs/gitlab.crt;

5. dhparam.pem Setting

Not a must, But I recommend it.

1. Open SSL
2. Login
3. cd /volume1/docker/gitlab/gitlab/certs
4. openssl dhparam -out dhparam.pem 4096
   However, this takes a very long time to NAS, so I recommend you work on your PC.

✔️ Done. good!
