First of all, thanks for this awesome open-source control panel — it’s truly the best option among all others! 
I’m facing an issue while trying to create a custom template.
When I installed Hestia, I didn’t choose the option to install Apache + Nginx — I selected only Nginx (unchecked Apache) because I thought it would be one server or the other.
Now, if possible, I would like to keep it that way without having to reinstall everything.
I downloaded and installed Grav CMS (flat-file) in the /root (public) directory, and it worked fine.
However, when I place a static site in the root and create a subfolder /grav (with the CMS inside it), I’m unable to access it, because it needs to be redirected properly using a template (since I’m using only Nginx).
ChatGPT taught me that the .htaccess file is missing in pure Nginx setups, so I would need to create a custom template — and I tried to do that.
I created gsubfolder.tpl and gsubfolder.stpl inside /usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/nginx/, but they never show up in the Hestia panel template options. I run
sudo systemctl reload nginx
sudo systemctl restart nginx
systemctl restart hestia
v-rebuild-web-domain Admin2 painel3.domainchanged.com
Even rebuild the site using control panel from Hestia. But give me some “error”
What am I doing wrong?
My manually optimized sites usually achieve 98–100 on PageSpeed Insights, and I’m worried that reinstalling the server would cause me to lose performance.
Inside my gsubfolder.stpl, I have: `
