How to get the public key of an SSL certificate, having the certificate itself and the private key?
Good afternoon!
There is hosting, with the ability to automatically install a free certificate from letsencrypt. I myself am not well versed in generating certificates, how many times I have not tried to create them .. Therefore, I took advantage of this opportunity from the hoster.
After installation in the hosting panel, I see
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
...
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
And I need to get the public key of this certificate. Support in the chat replied "use them to get a private key".
Tell me how can I do this?

Isn't the feature of LE just that he does everything himself, without requiring the user to have knowledge of certificates?
JFYI: The one below the BEGIN CERTIFICATE text is the public key, also known as the certificate.
For letsencrypt to work, a private certificate and the certificate itself, which is essentially the public key, are sufficient))
The public key is part of the certificate.
For this, a certificate is needed - to tell others: trust this public key, and you will be happy.
