./letsencrypt will contain the data, you won't need to setup SSL again after restarting/recreating the containers.

Deploy and Setup SSL

docker-compose up -d
docker exec -it <frontend_container> bash       # bash into the nginx container
certbot --nginx -d <your-website.com> -d <www.your-website.com>    # setup SSL certificate
