How do I attach an SSL certificate to my asp dot net website without switching to IIS?

I have a certificate, say, "./mysite.pfx" (that I've received from letsenctrypt). To enable HTTPS, I replaced

webBuilder.UseUrls("http://*:80");

with

webBuilder.UseUrls("http://*:80", "https://*:443");

But now if I visit the site it responds with MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT meaning that it cannot find the certificate file (I guess that's because dotnet sends a default). Where do I write the path to the file, how do I configure asp dot net project to use the ssl certificate and https protocol? Windows 10, no IIS.

You can configure kestrel for your project in CreateHostBuilder method. Add SSL port listening (443 by default) and provide your certificate with password. Also do not forget to add redirection to https from http: Enforce HTTPS in ASP.NET Core 

public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
    Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
        .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
        {
            webBuilder.UseKestrel(options =>
            {
                options.Listen(IPAddress.Any, 80); // http
                options.Listen(IPAddress.Any, 443, listenOptions => // https
                {
                    listenOptions.UseHttps("certificate.pfx", "certificate-password");
                });
            });
            webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();
            // other stuff ...
        }
