You should create a new template for your domain, modify a location block and assign that template to your site.

The templates for Nginx standalone are located here /usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/nginx/php-fpm/. If you are using Nginx+Apache, the templates for Nginx are here /usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/nginx/

Note: In this example I’m using the Nginx standalone.

/usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/nginx/php-fpm/default.tpl has this section:

location / {
                location ~* ^.+\.(jpeg|jpg|png|webp|gif|bmp|ico|svg|css|js)$ {
                        expires max;
                        fastcgi_hide_header "Set-Cookie";
                }

And you must modify it like this:

        location / {
                location ~* ^.+\.(jpeg|jpg|png|webp|gif|bmp|ico|svg|css|js)$ {
                        open_file_cache off;
                        proxy_cache off;
                        proxy_no_cache 1;
                        proxy_cache_bypass 1;
                        add_header Cache-Control "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate, max-age=0";
                        expires off;
                        add_header Pragma "no-cache";
                        etag off;
                        fastcgi_hide_header "Set-Cookie";
                }

Let’s say your user is pxop, the domain is example.net and the new template will be newtemplate :stuck_out_tongue:

cd /usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/nginx/php-fpm
cp default.tpl newtemplate.tpl
cp default.stpl newtemplate.stpl

Next, edit newtemplate.tpl and newtemplate.stpl, and modify the location directive location ~* ^.+\.(jpeg|jpg|png|webp|gif|bmp|ico|svg|css|js)$ { so that it matches the example provided above.

Once both files have been modified, add the new template to your domain:

v-change-web-domain-tpl pxop example.net newtemplate yes

Now, any changes to your CSS will be reflected instantly, with no caching at all.
