    Once you have SSL certficate, do following.

    cd /etc/webmin
mv miniserv.pem miniserv.pem.old
cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURDOMAIN/cert.pem /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURDOMAIN/privkey.pem /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURDOMAIN/chain.pem > /etc/webmin/miniserv.pem

    Now restart webmin

    systemctl restart webmin

    https://YOURDOMIN:10000

    To auto renew SSL, add following entry to cronjob that renew your LetsEncrypt SSL certificate.

    cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURDOMAIN/cert.pem /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURDOMAIN/privkey.pem /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURDOMAIN/chain.pem > /etc/webmin/miniserv.pem
systemctl restart webmin
