[warn] the "ssl" directive is deprecated, use the "listen ... ssl"

Description

Putting up a new VPS with nginx 1.18 and the confs fails due to [warn] the "ssl" directive is deprecated, use the "listen ... ssl".

nginx: [warn] the "ssl" directive is deprecated, use the "listen ... ssl" directive instead in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/somedomain.TLD.conf:2
nginx: [warn] the "ssl" directive is deprecated, use the "listen ... ssl" directive instead in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/somedomain.TLD.conf:42
nginx: [warn] the "ssl" directive is deprecated, use the "listen ... ssl" directive instead in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/somedomain.TLD.conf:56

Steps to reproduce

Create a new config, and when you paste the first line to fix the SSL, that oneliner will mess it up because it adds outdated stuffs to the configs.

Expected behavior

The form needs to be fixed to solve this, until then you need to manually go in and fix it by your self!

👋 The tool does not include the ssl directive in a final config -- part of the setup instructions briefly include setting the directive to off to ensure that SSL is completely disabled, even for older setups, while SSL certs are generated.

The deprecation notice emitted by NGINX while the directive is present is only a warning, and should not cause any actual issues with NGINX during the setup stage that has this directive present?

[MattIPv4]

No response, closing. This intentional behaviour that is temporary during the setup steps and emits a warning, not a failure.

I landed on this page looking for a fix to this "problem". I'm sure there are people who have come here before me, just as me, and will come after me.

There should be an appropriate line somewhere, so that people would not worry and would not come here to seek solution to this "problem". Saves time for lots of people.

Hi! Now it became a problem for me: [emerg] 11883#11883: unknown directive "ssl"

nginx version: nginx/1.25.3
built with OpenSSL 3.1.3 19 Sep 2023 (running with OpenSSL 3.1.4 24 Oct 2023)
TLS SNI support enabled

👋 @klevvit Would you mind filing a new issue capturing the fact this is now resulting in an NGINX failure? I imagine more recent versions have now completely dropped support, so we'll probably have to drop the backwards compatibility and remove this directive.

@MattIPv4 Done! #458
