I am looking for a comprehensive how-to document (of video, if I must) on setting up a valid certificate for pfSense web interface and for my Synology and its associated web pages and packages. I have found 'how-tos' which do pieces of this process but not the whole thing and it gets very confusing. I have my own domain. I have Acme installed for Let's Encrypt. Now what.

You need to collect some information.
And as you probably don't know what to do with it, and not sure what to collect to strat with, let's start with the most important one : who is the registrar ?
Depending on the registrar - check here, as your using acme.sh after all, you'll find all the info you need to know. -
@Gertjan Ok, that was actually the next step I was going to work through. I use Namecheap so this is what I was going to setup next.

Your nearly done, I guess.
You saw it : https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/dnsapi#dns_namecheap
And of course the namecheap acme.sh documentation.Fill in the domain name, like "pfsense.domain.tld" (you rent domain.tld - right).
The the API key
Get the user name.My advice : set DNS Sleep to "120" seconds.
And you should be good.For namecheap stories, use the forum search button, and search in the pfsense acme.sh sub forum.
Not this one, as for some reason you posted here but the question isn't "General" at all, and acme has its own forum dedicated to the acme.sh package - let me highlight it for you :
