A third site

Here you bring up a site from scratch yourself — from the server block to an answer by name.

The operations team needs a status page at status.lab.test. The page is already on the server, the name leads to this machine, and the portal must stay the default site.

Note

The portal's block is a handy model, but a port has one default_server. With two copies of the parameter nginx -t refuses with a duplicate default server for 0.0.0.0:80.
