I burned the better part of a Saturday trying to figure out why a relatively straightforward configuration wasn't applying and it's because one half of the configuration that I was trying to apply has to be done in the static manner and not the dynamic manner.
Documentation doesn't really spell this out and after quite a bit of frustrated googling I found a few other people complaining about effectively the same problem. It's only a few lines of code to spit out something along the lines of "hey, you're trying to configure ¢thing in an inappropriate way. Did you mean to configure ¢thing over in €thisLocation?" message... But nope, that would make things so much simpler and easier to use and probably cut into their support contract sales...
Now I basically just stick with nginx because it's documentation isn't crap, useful and applicable examples are all over the Internet.
For k8s, yeah. It should still be a useful tool for other things? Or did i miss a memo about nginx being EOLd?
