Description

I assume I'm not the only one who uses their own nginx.conf, a modified version of what's shipped with nginx-proxy-manager. aeb4424 broke my instance due to referencing a log config file called log-proxy.conf instead of log.conf which my older nginx.conf still expected.

I understand that this sometimes needs to be done. But renaming a file log.conf -> log-proxy.conf seems unnecessary, and not done with the spirit of minimal change in mind.

Though I may not be running a supported use case (shipping my own nginx.conf), I think its not unreasonable to ask to keep scenarios like this in mind for future pull requests.

Research direction

Start by reviewing commit aeb4424 and the references to log.conf and log-proxy.conf in the shipped nginx.conf. Reproduce the failure with an older custom nginx.conf and check how the renamed file is referenced. Done means an older custom configuration no longer fails because log.conf is missing, while the current configuration continues to work.
