Allow storage of SSL certs in external SQL database instead of Docker Volume #2390

Hi there, I believe I've discovered a common use case that would benefit greatly from the ability to store the SSL certificates within the SQL database rather than a Docker Volume.

I've been working to set up a Docker Swarm cluster for some web services. My current architecture consists of three nodes with three public IP addresses: each node has a npm container along with web services that npm administers access to.

I've been unable to configure a volume binding to a host EFS storage (AWS EC2 hosted). Without the ability to sync SSL certs between the three redundant NPM nodes, we have to manually download and upload the certs to each node. If there was an option to store the SSL certs (as blobs?) in the external MySQL database, these would be centralized and there would be no need to configure complex file syncing for the letsencrypt volumes.

I have spent a few hours trying to get EFS storage to work but nginx proxy manager's docker image seems to not play well with efs and the Linux permissions it uses.

If anyone has done anything similar or has an alternative that I haven't considered yet, I would love to hear ideas! Thank you!
