Virtualmin naming of SSL files in relation to Letsencrypt

Posting this as a separate thread as I guess someone might Google the same query later.

How does virtualmins naming of ssl files map to Letsencrypt?

Letsencrypt gives you the following files:

cert.pem
chain.pem
fullchain.pem
privkey.pem

And generally they translate to:

Private Key ------------------------> privkey.pem
Public Key -------------------------> cert.pem
Certificate Chain ------------------> chain.pem

Public Key + Certificate Chain -----> fullchain.pem

Virtualmin uses the following names:

ssl.key -------------> ?
ssl.cert ------------> ?
ssl.ca --------------> ?
ssl.combined --------> ?

What do the virtualmin files map to?

I’m guessing the following but can someone confirm please?

ssl.key -------------> privkey.pem
ssl.cert ------------> cert.pem
ssl.ca --------------> chain.pem
ssl.combined --------> fullchain.pem (cert.pem + chain.pem)
ssl.everything ------> privkey.pem + cert.pem + chain.pem

That’s also fullchain.pem

I never thought about it. But, that sounds right.
