Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If you add a custom SSL certificate, you cannot renew it through the web interface without removing and readding the certificate.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the option to update custom SSL certificates with a renewed cert without having to delete and re-add the SSL certificate (meaning reconfiguring for all hosts). Additionally, if I manually update the fullchain.pem certificate in the data directory, can a function be created to update the expire date in the web interface so I don't need to manually edit the sqlite db?
Describe alternatives you've considered
I am able to replace the fullchain.pem file with the renewed certs but that does not update the expire date on the web interface.

Research direction
Start by tracing how custom SSL certificates are represented in the web interface and how fullchain.pem files and expiration dates are handled in the data directory and SQLite database. The work is done when a renewed custom certificate can be updated without reconfiguring hosts and its displayed expiration date stays synchronized without manual database edits.
