Custom Nginx Reverse Proxy + Upstream via Templates

[Hayward]

Hi,

I am trying to use nginx + apache to deploy a Strapi application.

In the Strapi instructions for nginx proxying, it says I need to setup an upstream block:

# path: /etc/nginx/conf.d/upstream.conf

# Strapi server
upstream strapi {
    server 127.0.0.1:1337;
}

And then this Nginx Virtual Host:

# path: /etc/nginx/sites-available/strapi.conf

server {
    # Listen HTTP
    listen 80;
    server_name api.example.com;

    # Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
    # Listen HTTPS
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name api.example.com;

    # SSL config
    ssl_certificate /path/to/your/certificate/file;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/your/certificate/key;

    # Proxy Config
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://strapi;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
        proxy_pass_request_headers on;
    }
}

However when I try to put the Proxy Config in CUSTOM2 (or the other options) in CUSTOM HTTPD CONFIGURATIONS, it just says there's a duplicate location block or a different error.

This is driving me crazy because normally I'd just modify the entire nginx config without these templates, but if I do that they just get overwritten every time I make a change in DirectAdmin.
