Best way to protect changes to nginx.conf from "bench setup nginx"

Install / Update Deployment

Hi Team, All,

Could you please let me know the best way to make sure that changes made to nginx.conf in the bench folder are not lost when I run bench setup nginx ?

My scenario is that I have a couple of subdomains *.host.com that I’m redirecting to host.com using the following block

server{
	listen 80;
	server_name	*.host.com;
	return 301	http://host.com$request_uri;
}

I would not like this to be overwritten when next I run bench setup nginx.

Regards,

Add a new file in /etc/nginx/conf.d for your other directives

Why not have ERPNext approach nginx.conf the way WordPress security plugins approach .htaccess, simply appending their changes to the file instead of replacing it?

Hey, I know this is old but I want to achieve exactly the same. can you give steps on doing this solution?

what file name should I give to the new file in conf.d folder? I already have frappe-bench.conf file in it.
more importantly, how should I link this to nginx.conf in bench folder? should I write include /etc/nginx/conf.d/new_file in nginx.conf?

other than this what do I need to write in the file? :

server{
	listen 80;
	server_name	*.host.com;
	return 301	http://host.com$request_uri;
}

I used this technique and https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04 to make .php files co-exist with ERPNext

I had a need to allow php based applications run on the same server with nginx running ERPNext

Hope it helps others.
