[FEATURE] Prevent nginx.conf to be overwritten upon update

[jlguerrerosanz]

Many people ask in the forum every week about this topic.

We could try something like this:
dpkg-divert --divert /full_path/file_to_preserve.packaged --rename /full_path/file_to_preserve

Or change the nginx installation directory so it doesn't get overwritten.

You need to set the nginx.conf overwrite actively to yes, by default it suggests no. We are aware that a few people decided to overwrite this file and got issues due to it. BUT: We strictly communicate that we develop hestia as solution for sysadmins, if you are not aware what you're doing, there is zero reason to overwrite a config file - keep the default and you're good to go.

The amount of reports got increased due to the fact, that nginx shipped a new package (which had a new nginx.conf) a day before we shiped a new hestia version. But over all, 4-6 reports on 11k active arent "much".

Changing the nginx installation directory would go into a own compiled version, as explained we do not have any interrests to provide custom compiled packages.

So we will not going to protect the nginx.conf in a additional way and I'll close your request.

Okay. I was just suggesting that you gave it a thought and you did. I'm fine with that. Thank you for your time.
