Go to the security panel of your account in Gandi.
Generate and copy the API key
Go into the admin panel of your Nginx Proxy Manager (e.g. http://192.168.1.62:81/)
Go to SSL Certificates
Enter the desired domain name
Enter your gandi.net email address
Toggle Use DNS Challenge
Choose Gandi as DNS Provider
Enter your API Key
Generate the Certificate
