Nginx

For nginx configuration, you can put different form of configurations files on different locations dependent on your use cases.

• If you only need the server context directives, you can put the config files inside the /etc/nginx/conf.d/<anyname>.conf
• If you need a ground-up change on nginx config, you have to create a brand-new nginx.conf file on /usr/local/openresty/nginx/conf/nginx.conf(may vary on different linux distro).
