Nginx subdomain configuration

Question

I have nginx acting as a reverse proxy to apache  I now need to add a new subdomain that will serve files from another directory  but at the same time I want all location and proxy pass directives that I have for the default host to apply to the subdomain also   I know that if I copy the rules from the default host to the new subdomain it will work  but is there a way for the subdomain to inherit the rules  Below is a sample configuration  server       listen       80      server name  www somesite com      access log  logs access log      error log  logs error log error       location  mvc         proxy pass  http   localhost 8080 mvc            location  assets         alias    var www html assets        expires     max               a lot more locations    server       listen       80      server name  subdomain somesite com       location                     root    var www some dir                  index  index html index htm                Thanks

Another type of solution would be to autogenerate the nginx conf files via Jinja2 templates from ansible  The advantage of this is easy deployment to a cloud environment  and easy to replicate on multiple dev machines

You could move the common parts to another configuration file and include from both server contexts  This should work   server     listen 80    server name server1 example          include  etc nginx include d your-common-stuff conf     server     listen 80    server name another-one example          include  etc nginx include d your-common-stuff conf      Edit  Here s an example that s actually copied from my running server  I configure my basic server settings in  etc nginx sites-enabled  normal stuff for nginx on Ubuntu Debian   For example  my main server bunkus org s configuration file is  etc nginx sites-enabled and it looks like this   server     listen   80 default server    listen    2a01 4f8 120 3105  101 1  80 default server     include  etc nginx include d all-common    include  etc nginx include d bunkus org-common    include  etc nginx include d bunkus org-80     server     listen   443 default server    listen    2a01 4f8 120 3105  101 1  443 default server     include  etc nginx include d all-common    include  etc nginx include d ssl-common    include  etc nginx include d bunkus org-common    include  etc nginx include d bunkus org-443      As an example here s the  etc nginx include d all-common file that s included from both server contexts   index index html index htm index php  dirindex php  try files  uri  uri   404   location      ht     deny all     location    favicon ico     log not found off    access log off     location     README ChangeLog       types       default type text plain
