[Solved] How hosed am I? (cleared out the database) [turns out: not *that* hosed]

Also, regarding altering the nginx configs, I suggest minimal alteration of the nginx config, and instead adding additional configs.

See my topic here: Using nginx/pi-hole to reverse proxy (the dodgy way)
This gives you a cronjob and script that can be run to inject a custom config location into the Rockstor nginx config.

You can then use this for creating additional ‘server’ blocks, for which I’m adding reverse proxies for all my Rockons - My missus isn’t so good at remembering IP address/port combinations, but ‘sonarr.home’ or ‘tv.home’ work well enough!

Specifically mentioned, the following will give you somewhere to have your non-standard configs:

@Haioken

/etc/crontab

* * * * * root /root/scripts/nginx-proxy.sh

@Haioken

/root/scripts/nginx-proxy.sh

#!/usr/bin/bash

# Check for inclide directory in rockstor nginx config
grep -q conf.d /opt/rockstor/etc/nginx/nginx.conf || {
    # Add config in place, create backup nginx.conf.bak
    perl -plni.bak -e 'print "\tinclude\t\t/root/conf.d/\*;\n" if(/\s+server \{/)' /opt/rockstor/etc/nginx/nginx.conf;

    # Restart the service
    systemctl restart rockstor.service || {
        # Failed! Retrieve backup and restart again
        mv /opt/rockstor/etc/nginx/nginx.conf.bak /opt/rockstor/etc/nginx.conf;
        systemctl restart rockstor.service;
    }
}

Hope this helps!
