- Place all your server block configuration files in this directory - This path should be bind-mounted to the container at: '/etc/nginx/sites' - this bind-mount will override the default server configurations included in the container by default. - All files should begin in the 'server' configuration context - ONLY files that end with '.conf' will be processed! - if you want to keep a file for reference or disable it temporarily, simply change the extension. I like using '.conf.disabled'. - If you don't want to use this directory, you can bind-mount any other directory you want to '/etc/nginx/sites/'
