I roll my own Nginx (for Brotli support etc) and as a result, `ghost install` doesn’t detect that I have Nginx installed (it seems to check for the packaged version).

Although I’ve had success using a modified version of my old Nginx config from Ghost 0.11.x, I’m curious as to what config would be installed for me by ghost-cli, if the check had succeeded (and I’d opted to have ghost-cli setup Nginx for me).

Could someone post an example Nginx config as created by ghost-cli please?

(From screenshots of other people’s installation steps, I think the config gets created at `[ghost-install-folder]/ghost/system/files/[blog-domain].conf`, but I checked that folder and I only have a systemd unit file in there.)

The templates used by Ghost-CLI can be found in the repo: [Ghost-CLI/extensions/nginx/templates at main · TryGhost/Ghost-CLI · GitHub](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-CLI/tree/master/extensions/nginx/templates)

I’ve updated our [knowledgebase](https://docs.ghost.org/docs/cli-knowledge-base#section-nginx) to include this link.

There’s also an open issue for the custom nginx detection: [Detect manual nginx setup · Issue #310 · TryGhost/Ghost-CLI · GitHub](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-CLI/issues/310).
