Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Kind of. It's missing functionality, in my opinion.
Describe the solution you'd like
I might just be missing this, but with Nginx you can simply use it as a webserver. Not a proxy, redirect, stream, etc. I don't see how to do that in NPM. I need to be able to specify a domain (say downloads.mycompany.com) and a folder, either local or UNC to serve. Then if I visit downloads.mycompany.com/file1.txt I would be served the file.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually adding the following to the config
server {
listen 80;
server_name downloads.mycompany.com;
root c:/webroot/;
location / {
alias C:/webroot/downloads/;
autoindex on;
}

Research direction
No repository files or tests are named. Start by tracing how Nginx Proxy Manager creates proxy-host configurations, then determine where a domain and local or UNC folder would be represented and rendered. Done means a configured domain serves files from the selected folder, including file1.txt and directory listing behavior if supported.
