inside the web template file, I found the instructions where it update the nginx config file template (replace statements) .. Isn’t there away to add a whole new section to nginx config ??? /uploads folder in discourse/shared is accessible from nginx .. I want to add a new folder /photos .. is there a direct way (discourse recommended way)

Any chance you could pattern match as I proposed, the match being the pattern at the end of the file, then replace the pattern with the same but with your changes added onto the end?

[image] Ibrahim salem: I want to add a new folder /photos Can you explain why you want to do that? “Photos” can in any case be uploaded to Discourse. Image upload and optimisation is built into Discourse already.

Maybe I have mentioned ther wrong example .. what I’m trying to figure out is .. how can I reach the origianl nginx config and add a whoe section inside whether adding a new mapping for a folder or anything else .. is that doable ? or it’s just not recommended ? I can install an external nginx server and make it redirect all links to the docker nginx and do my stuff ..

You might find a similar technique to edit the config in this old advice works for you: (taken from a prior version of this wiki post: Set up Let’s Encrypt with multiple domains / redirects) "It’s pretty simple really, add something like the following to your app.yml hooks section: Step 2 - discourse.conf In addition to step 1 there is a change needed for nginx to correctly redirect http to https for anything other than DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME - replace: filename: "/etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf" from: /return 301 https.+/ to: | return 301 https://$host$request_uri; We also need to remove the additional rewrite that web.ssl.template.yml adds since it forces only the DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME and now we have others! - replace: filename: "/etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf" from: /gzip on;[^\}]+\}/m to: | gzip on; add_header Strict-Transport-Security 'max-age=31536000'; # remember the certificate for a year and automatically connect to HTTPS for this domain

You are going to have to get creative, I suspect.

Why not tell us why you need this extra folder? It’s possible that someone else has had a similar need, but that the assumed solution isn’t the only way to achieve it.

I said it was a bad example .. I can manage any extra folder with different solutions .. no issues so far .. Yet, I want to be able to add a whole new section in the nginx config .. I’m just curios how to do it if I had to do it ..

I thought so .. I was wondering maybe there is a mahic field for newly appended section .. defined for this purpose .. never mind .. I think I can manage based on your suggestion

How can I update the nginx config directly in discourse/docker ..?

Yes I found these instructions inside the template files ..
Isn;t there an instruction to append a new section ? instead of find-replace ??
