    Seriously? I got more confused now and will need to basically look for a better explanation, I appreciate the work of the engineer here, however, there is a saying, when you understand something really well you can explain it to a 5-year-old and it will be understood.

    If you're on Linux you can use logrotate It's a built in utility for managing log files. Create a custom logroate job for nginx $ vi /etc/logrotate.d/nginx /var/log/nginx/*.log { create 600 nginx nginx daily delay-compress date %mm-dd-yyy rotate 4 post_rotate >2 /dev/null } The file would look something like that. You can look the documentation or Linux manual pages for logrotate. Good luck on your endeavors!

    Hi! Correct me if im wrong, I am using Pihole, a DNS Resolver Server + Sinkhole + Firewall. To map a custom URL (I.e. domain:port/subdomain) to a custom Domain Name, I'll need to use reverse proxy, am i right?

    Absolutely - You can proxy TCP connections using proxy_pass directive. It is performed via the Stream Module.
