Nginx default conf

Virtualmin
1

Hello, I’m already going gray from searching for this…
Where can I find the settings for the default Nginx configuration when creating a site?
I tried modifying the default files in /virtualmin-nginx/?xnavigation=1.

The answer to questions like this is always Server Templates.

Huh, it’s hidden in an uncomfortable place for nginx. But, I believe you can do what you’re after in:

Server Templates->->Plugin options->Adding Nginx config directives

I found it by clicking the search icon in the Server Templates page and typing “nginx” (which is usually how I find the specific answer to questions like this, there a couple of search boxes and they usually work pretty well for finding specific options.

@Jamie I wonder if it’s possible to make nginx more of a first class citizen in this regard? it’s sort of obscure finding where to customize the nginx directives. I think this option does it, but it’s not entirely clear how and it’s tucked away in the unintuitively named “Plugin options”, and most users probably don’t know that nginx is a plugin and treated differently from core features.

Indeed, it’s quite unintuitive; it’s probably easier to edit it directly in the file, but which file is it? Or is there no such option?

That’s an excellent idea, we should be able to allow plugins to define their own template categories. I’ll look into this.

Any edit causes a “violation” of the structure; quite simply, the file is ugly. Additionally, are there no systems in place to check for duplicates?

server {
	server_name domain.com ;
	listen 123123213213;
	listen123121321312312;
	root /home/domain/public_html;
	index index.php index.htm index.html;

treated differently (yes a bit like an afterthought compared to Apache and it doesn’t deserve that these days) but that is much the same everywhere

looking forward to any improvement (I, like many I suspect, never bothered even looking for a template)

There’s still an issue where, after selecting PHP version 8.1 and making any changes (or updates), it automatically switches to the highest possible version on its own. :confused:
