Custom Hosts

[Fufs]

The idea is exactly what it sounds like - custom NGINX configurations that are set up through the UI. The template would have the bear minimum (_listen.conf, _certificates.conf, acess_log and error_log) and the rest would be configurable using NGINX syntax.

Included features

• The standard SSL options from other hosts (just the Certificate selector and HTTP/2 support)
• Set of pre-defiend presets that would serve as a starting point in creating new custom hosts
• Ability for users to define and store their own presets?

Reasons for this feature

• For advanced users that are well-versed with using NGINX and prefer creating their own configurations
• Ability to create custom, one-off hosts that have special requirements
• Creating simple, static file hosting for custom default page or 404 errors

Benefits over "vanilla" NGINX server

• Let's Encrypt certificate creation, management and automatic renewal
• For existing installations of NPM that might just need one custom configuration, where all of their other needs are satisfied by the standard proxy, redirect, stream, and dead hosts, and switching to another solution just for that one reason is not worth it
• Ease of setup and use
