nginx config for my MOTD sites (who needs a status page when you can have a dummy page)

motd.conf

server {
	listen 80;
	listen [::]:80;
	server_name paff.tcyr.us;
	access_log off;
	error_log off;
	return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
	# SSL configuration
	listen 443 ssl http2;
	listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
	include snippets/letsencrypt.conf;

	root /srv/www/motd;

	index index.html index.htm;

	server_name paff.tcyr.us;

	location / {
		if ($http_user_agent ~ curl) {
			rewrite ^/$ /motd.txt last;
		}

		# First attempt to serve request as file, then
		# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
		try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
	}
