Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I share a LE cert with my mail server (mailcow). The cert is managed by the mail server NOT the proxy. Currently NPM us unable to map to a docker volume that points to an nfs share with the certs in it.

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Would like to add a custom local path to where a cert is installed.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
Having the proxy server (NPM) manage the cert and mount an nfs share to the mail server. This is not ideal considering it requires a restart of the mail server containers when the LE cert is updated and the containers are on a completely different server.

I'd like this as well, so I can designate custom path to my local LE certs. Thanks!

Did either of you ever figure out a way to do this automatically? I had to manually get certs with certbot and upload them. it would be cool if I could point a docker volume at the host letsencrypt directory and have nginx proxy manager pick it up.

If I'm understanding correctly, I'll need to manually go and run 'certbot renew' and then upload the new certs every 3 months?

Also thanks jc21 awesome package.
