Update custom SSL cert expiration date when SSL files change in the cert directory

[begunfx]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently I'm generating SSL certs outside of NPM. I'm able to use a script to copy the certs into the custom cert folder inside of NPM on a cron/schedule. The issue is after the custom SSL cert is initially created, if I update the SSL files in the cert folder the date within the UI does not update.

Describe the solution you'd like The simplest solution I can think of is to watch the cert folder for changes and if it is updated then write a new date from the SSL cert into the database and update the date in the UI.

Describe alternatives you've considered I can't think of any other alternatives other than manually creating a new custom cert everytime it's about to expire - not a reasonable solution by any means.

Additional context My SSL cert is by ZeroSSL.

I'm also experiencing the same issue. I'm updating my certificates regularly using ACME, but it seems that the updated certificate files are not working.

Same issue here. I have to use a workaround by including the cert locations in the server.conf and selecting no SSL in the GUI

The simplest solution I can think of is to watch the cert folder for changes and if it is updated then write a new date from the SSL cert into the database and update the date in the UI.

Or some sort of cronjob that checks regularly / on startup. Additionally (or at least) a button to refresh a custom SSL certificate on the dashboard would also do the job (somehow).
