-
-Use case: add an `X-Served-By` header to requests
-
-```go
-server {
-  listen      [::]:{{ .NGINX_PORT }};
-  listen      {{ .NGINX_PORT }};

 ### Customizing via configuration files included by the default templates
 
 The default nginx.conf template will include everything from your apps `nginx.conf.d/` subdirectory in the main `server {}` block (see above):
