is it possible to load a CERT using command line or by placing valid CERTS in a certain location?

If it isn't currently possible, could we add that ability?

We are trying to automate the configuration of nginx-ui using a CaC (configuration as code) tool like SaltStack. We want to be able to use the excellent UI for basic actions and monitoring, but want to be able to manage it with Salt (so, no webui). We are already able to do this with proxies we want to setup. All of them can be loaded in with code and then observed with your UI.

This capability would make nginx-ui extremely useful. We are targeting it because we are able to use both the UI AND "headless" code to manage our nginx configs.

I realized I could be more clear/offer more detail.

We are able to load certs and have the "sites" in the UI use our certs properly. But the certs aren't displayed in the UI until they are imported manually. We're curious if there is a way to automate this import so the cert is observable in the UI without any user action needed?
