Traefik SSL Self-Signed Certs

Hi all, I am new to the forum. I have recently started using Traefik with my docker containers and must say it is fantastic. Currently, I am trying to get one of my docker containers to use a custom self-signed SSL. I have followed some instructions I have gathered from browsing around the internet and everything else works fine however my container keeps using a traefik default certificate rather than the custom one I would like it to use. Can someone help me on how I can achieve this please? To be honest, I am not exactly clear on how the docker containers pick and use an SSL certificate and the documentation I have read does not seem to make it clear either. Here is what I have done so far.

Docker Compose yml file for Traefik

version: '3'
services:
  traefik:
    image: "traefik:v2.2"
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - ~/docker-data/traefik/traefik.yml:/etc/traefik/traefik.yaml:ro
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.api.rule=Host(`traefik.com`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.api.entrypoints=insecure"
      - "traefik.http.routers.api.service=api@internal"
      - "traefik.http.routers.api.middlewares=api-auth"
      - "traefik.http.middlewares.api-auth.basicauth.users=admin:..."
    container_name: traefik
networks:
  default:
    external:
      name: "web"

My Traefik yml file

providers: # You can add more than one provider if needed
  docker:
    endpoint: "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
    network: "web" # Custom docker network
    exposedByDefault: false # Only expose explicitly enabled containers

  file:
    filename: ~/docker-data/traefik/dynamic_conf.yml
    watch: true

entryPoints:
  insecure:
    address: ":80"
  secure:
    address: ":443"

api:
  dashboard: true

My dynamic configuration file

# Dynamic configuration
tls:
  certificates:
    - certFile: "~/ssl/bwtest-cert.pem"
      keyFile: "~/ssl/bwtest-key.pem"

My docker container:

All solved. Turns out it was due to incorrect volume mapping on my Traefik docker-compose file.
