Add location station in Nginx config file in Synology NAS

Question

I need to modify the nginx config file (/etc/nginx/app.d/server.webstation-vhost.conf) to add one line, which is for Laravel routing work correctly.

location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; }

The problem is /etc/nginx/app.d/server.webstation-vhost.conf will ALWAYS OVERWITTEN once reboot the NAS,

Does anybody having experience how to hand this problem.

Many Thanks !

Not sure if you figured this out, but if you haven't, under that vhost conf file (/etc/nginx/app.d/server.webstation-vhost.conf), look for something like:

include /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/f2f0a62b-74d6-4c34-a745-d0156f13c9d6/user.conf*;

Instead of f2f0a62b-74d6-4c34-a745-d0156f13c9d6 you should see another unique id for your nginx app, create/edit the mentioned user.conf file (without asterisk) with the contents you need, in my case I created a file with the contents below:

location / {
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
}

Then I had to restart nginx with the command sudo synoservice --restart nginx. And it worked.

PS.: I believe it should work for any DSM v6.1 or later (maybe 6.0.x as well).
