Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to request a change or modification in the installation script for self hosting. Adding an option to use traefik but turn off letsencrypt would be greatly appreciated as a lot of us have our main reverse proxy upstream and our ISP's also dont allow incoming traefik on port 80 or 443 because they clearly havent heard of vps's or cloudflare tunnels yet.

Describe the solution you'd like
Just an option to not have the packaged reverse proxy do any kind of cert requesting. Its as simple as removing the lines for Letsencrypt and removing the cert from the containers. traefik will then fall back to a self signed cert and the TLS will be terminated upstream.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I stopped the docker compose stack, removed the lines manually and re upped it and all is fine.

Additional context
I also wasnt prepared for it to just fire off the services at the end of the script, so multiple cert requests got fired off to LetsEncrypt that could never be completed even tho the dns was pointing correctly at the server.
