Thanks for your contribution. Could you elaborate a bit more, why you added this section?

The automatic test fail due to styling:

@yubiuser So I added the gzip command to limit the file size while retaining the original file mode, ownership and timestamp. The main change is include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;. Before adding this line the web UI was not working (nothing was displayed at all in the web page). I found this fix on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pi-hole#Nginx_instead_of_Lighttpd
