nginx: how to divide /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf ? - nginx

Question

looking for a way to divide /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf, something like per site. Any idea?
current file looks like this:
upstream Master_MAT {
server 172.18.0.3:8080;
}
upstream Master_PAT {
server 172.18.0.4:8080;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
#charset koi8-r;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
root /etc/nginx/html;
index index.html index.php;
#charset koi8-r;
location / {
root /etc/nginx/html;
try_files $uri /$uri $uri/ =404;
}
location /Master_MAT {
proxy_set_header Host $proxy_host;
proxy_pass http://Master_MAT/Master_MAT;
# proxy_redirect off;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
location /Master_PAT {
proxy_set_header Host $proxy_host;
proxy_pass http://Master_PAT/Master_PAT;
# proxy_redirect off;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
Is there a way to put the Master_MAT in different file? Tried to use 'include' yet failed.

Most people recommend using the sites-enabled and sites-available approach:
http {
…
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}
Now you can leave 'disabled' sites in sites-available and move them into the sites-enabled folder when you want it to be in use.
This is a wildcard so you can just create new .conf files for each site and it will load them automatically.
Here's an example of what would go inside /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /var/www/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name _;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
