Users may not be aware that the filename chosen to add extra configuration in /etc/nginx/conf.d may interfere with nginx-proxy. nginx-proxy stores its configuration at /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf. Any files that come before default.conf in alphabetical order will be applied before default.conf and vice-versa. This is confusing, because the documentation does not specify how exactly nginx-proxy interacts with nginx. This can be remedied by a simple note alerting the users of the importance of filename choices.
