Hello, I installed discourse on a brand new Ubuntu server and I know it uses nginx, but I cannot figure out where the location of the site is. Basically what I am trying to do is validate a domain and to do that I need to put a txt file in the main directory of my website but I cannot figure out where the root directory of the domain is. Please help! Thanks

> Validate using dns changes instead. This is also supported by Google. Otherwise you can use Admin, Customize and add HTML content in the header or footer.
