Thank you @tranchitella and @peter. I was able to get this working in pretty short order. Just ran certbot on my server and swapped out certs in keys\_generated directory. When doing this, in order for clients to connect both api and storage need the full chain. I found this out in another post [SSL CA certificate setup on mender production](https://hub.mender.io/t/ssl-ca-certificate-setup-on-mender-production/1284/6) it was very helpful as well.

In the end it wasn’t as complicated as I thought it was going to be. Swapping out certs and updating my URL since I changed to registered domain.

Thank you Mender community!

Ryan
