Where is the SSL Private Key stored?

1

Due to a malfunction in a previous control panel I was testing, I am locked out of LetsEncrypt for an unknown period due to too many cert requests. I purchased a Comodo SSL using a CSR generated in the Self Signing Certificate area of Hestia (the only area I could find to generate a CSR). I was able to get the certificate, but have no earthly clue where the Private Key is stored. I tried using the key found in usr/local/hestia/ssl/certificate.key but that was not it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? If there is a different location to generate the CSR and Key I can do that and reissue the cert, but any help is appreciated.

Please disregard - I figured it out. Thanks.

When you create a self-signed certificate using Hestia:

It stores the crt, csr and key in a random temporary directory /tmp/tmp.randomchars/YourDomain.{crt,csr,key}

But the same way you copied the CSR, copy the Key from the SSL Private Key field.
