@amadex the install script will automatically add a default nginx.conf. This one just has some minor changes from that default one that I think increases performance. You'll find it in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

So does this replace /etc/nginx/nginx.conf?

@danieljlewis technically yes - each install is going to possibly vary but this is what I've been running to start with.

what about for domain.conf?
