Question Plesk XML API to change nginx directives

[chapterjason]

Hey,

I currently working on a PAAS for NodeJS and PHP Applications that run in Docker.

Currently im stuck a bit while try to create the proxy_pass in nginx, I already modified my vhost template that the proxy_pass in the Additional directives will take place.

But I don't know how to set this via the XML API.

@chapterjason have you ever figured out how to do this? I'm running in the same problem.

Maybe someone from Plesk can help us?

Perhaps this link can be of use:

• The additional-nginx node is optional. It specifies additional directives for nginx. Data type: string.

@Rasp Thanks for your reply.

Your link shows a way to add this for all domains on the server. What i would like is to use it on a per domain basis.

I'm using the php api client library to do a request like:

$this->client->request([
            'site' => [
                [
                    'set' => [
                        'filter'  => [
                            'name' => 'my-domain.com'
                        ],
                        'values' => [
                            'hosting' => [
                                'vrt_hst' => [
                                    'property' => [
                                        [
                                            'name' => 'additional-nginx',
                                            'value' => 'my-value'
                                        ]
                                    ]
                                ]
                            ]
                        ]
                    ]
                ]
            ]
        ])

I have tried both additional-nginx-settings and additional-nginx. It returns a "status": "ok" but when i go to plesk and look at the "Additional nginx directives" under the domain the field is empty. Also doing a quick cat /var/www/vhosts/system/my-domain.com/conf/vhost_nginx.conf shows an empty file.

Is this possible through the API?

Hmmm, I could not find anything related in the API documentation. Neither does the Plesk CLI seem to have a similar feature. Not 100% sure, but I am afraid it isn't possible.

I did found this article however. Which looks interesting as workaround.
