Nginx same config for multiple paths

nginx

Solution

This would work, but I believe it works slower, because it involves a regex engine, another alternative you could create the config you want in a separate file and include them in each location so that it would be written once and could be edited all together, like this

location /foo {
    include foo.conf;
}
location /bar {
    include foo.conf;
}

Inside `foo.conf` you could write any config that's in a `location` scope heres a random sample snippet:

root /foo/bar;
try_files $uri /index.html;

Problem

I'd like to configure several paths within a site (such as /foo/ and /bar/) in the same way. To avoid copy-pasting, I figured I should use a single location block, but the only way I found for doing that is to use a regex, such as: ``` location ~ ^/(foo|bar)/ { ... } ``` Is this the best way or is there a better alternative?
