Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Would it be possible to add the ability of configurations as code or as yaml?
I prefer npm over traefik but I keep going back to traefik, as I migrate/reinstall, as setting it up to my preferences takes almost no time. However, with npm I have to add everything manually and get the domain token etc.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like something similar to config.yml from traefik 3, where the configurations would live, and also that allowing live updates upon saving the file. Docker tags work too but I don't personally prefer them.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Updating via the sqlite database - I have tried that once but I think something went wrong and the changes were not applied.
