First off, THANK YOU so much to @jc21 for doing this project. It has made life sooooo much easier! I also recognize that there are over 400 issues on this project, so this may never be addressed, but figured I would try.

I use GoDaddy for my DNS, and unfortunately GoDaddy is not currently supported today. So instead, I'm using the dehydrated application to generate my SSL certificates that I need. It auto renews and everything is great.

But, every time my cert expires, I have to manually pull the generated certificate, upload it to nginx proxy manager, and then update the proxy host to use that SSL cert. I see that I can manually place the certificate in the custom_ssl/npm-x folder, where x is the number of the certificate. However, simply adding the file here doesn't do me anything other than getting it onto the filesystem. I also need a way to tell nginx proxy manager that the cert has been added here, so that it can actually be uploaded to the database. Is there any way that I can tell it from the cli to add the new cert to the database? If so, I can then script this up the proper way, hopefully.

If you have the certs in the local file system you can maybe use this: https://github.com/jc21/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/87#issuecomment-742831838 as a workaround for now.

This will work for now! I'll close this out since it seems to be a dupe of #87. Thanks for the pointers.
