Load Additional Nginx Configurations Inside the server Block for Easier Customization

[erseco]

Currently, the Nginx configuration in this container includes a directive to load additional configurations via:

# Include other server configs
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;

However, this is outside of the main server block. For increased flexibility and to allow easy addition of rules specific to Nginx servers, it would be useful to support loading configurations directly inside the server block. This enhancement would facilitate customizing server behavior without modifying the main configuration file.

Proposed Solution:

1. Add an additional include directive within the server block, similar to:

   # Include additional server-specific configurations
   include /etc/nginx/server-conf.d/*.conf;

2. Create a directory /etc/nginx/server-conf.d/ for placing custom configuration files.
3. Update documentation to reflect this change and instruct users on how to utilize the new include directive for server-specific configurations.

Benefits:

• Simplifies customization of Nginx servers.
• Provides a more modular approach to managing configuration changes.
• Reduces the need to directly modify the main nginx.conf file.

Potential Risks:

• Ensure proper error handling to avoid potential issues with misconfigured files.
• Properly validate configurations before including them to maintain server stability.
