I am trying to set up an SSL certificate for my Calibre server. Unfortunately, I have no experience with SSL certificates and how to create them. The one experience that I had previously, I was able to click a few links and it created the certificate using Let's Encrypt and automatically updates it for me when needed.

I couldn't see in the instructions on how to create the certificate using Let's Encrypt, so I purchased a certificate from Comodo. When I got my certificate, it came with three files. It came with one that the type is Security Certificate, one that is PKCS#7 Certificate and a CA-Bundle File. Which of these files do I need to link to my Calibre installation?

I am running Calibre on a Windows 10 desktop install. It is not a server installation of the Windows OS. I know that I can access it via the web, because I have that successfully setup, including being able to access it via a domain name. However, I can't figure out how to make it work over a secure connection.

Can anyone offer any guidance on what I need to do to finish setting up the SSL portion of my Calibre install?
