Notes for reference:
/var/log/nginx is the directory where the log files are stored.
*.log : all files having .log extension.
weekly : rotate on weekly basis
missingok : if any log file is missing, do not worry and continue
rotate 52 : 52 is the number of files you want to retain
compress : compress the files
delaycompress : don't compress the most recent log file
notifempty : don't rotate if logfile is empty

copytruncate

we can also add copytruncate which copies the existing log files and then it truncates the current one.
