Hey @dduportal, thanks for your quick response. I do not get the file providers. It shouln't be so complicated to provide own cetficates, sorry. V1-configuration ws much simpler.

I tried the following:

```auto
# traefik.toml
[providers.file]
  filename = "/ssl/"

# ssl.toml
[[tls.certificates]]
  certFile = "/ssl/cert.pem"
  keyFile = "/ssl/key.pem"
  stores = ["default"]

[tls.stores]
  [tls.stores.default]
    [tls.stores.default.defaultCertificate]
      certFile = "/ssl/cert.pem"
      keyFile = "/ssl/key.pem"

```

Still no success, still the `TRAEFIK DEFAULT CERT`.

The new V2 configuration seems to be quite complicated and not well documented yet.

Can you please provide a working MWE with a default cert?

Used references:
