Question How to properly add server directive for a vhost for nginx?

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.41.1

Hello,
I am trying to host my Laravel application using Octane, which uses Roadrunner server under the hood. As the documentation suggests (Laravel - The PHP Framework For Web Artisans), I need to add some extra configuration for the nginx in order to serve static assets over nginx but proxy requests to a specific port on which Roadrunner server will be run. However, I am unable to find any proper guidance on how to add this extra configuration only for one vhost, as I don't want to mess up other websites that should be served regularly. Plesk only allows basic directive and keywords like "server" or "location" are not allowed. How may I do this properly?

You can use the location directive under the domain. Just make sure that proxy mode is disabled.

as an example for seafile, I used:

server_tokens off;
location / {
        proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:8000;
        proxy_set_header   Host $host;
        proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
        proxy_read_timeout  1200s;

        client_max_body_size 0;

        access_log      /var/log/nginx/seahub.access.log;
        error_log       /var/log/nginx/seahub.error.log;
}

location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
alias /var/www/vhosts/example.com/sub.example.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/;

}
