Sharing a nginx directive across sites-CodePudding

I have around 30 sites in a server. I am trying to add an IP blocker to each of the site without altering the respective site file in sites_enabled.

ie. I need to share this block to all the websites in the server.

location / {
    if ($allowed_country = no) {
         return 418;         
    }
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

So far all my research says that I cannot do this. Can someone please confirm it? is there anyway I can share it across sites and make sure it doesn't get overriden in the sites nginx configuration file?

CodePudding user response：

Have you already tried to add the if directive in server-block (before all those location statements) and break after that?

server {
    if ($allowed_country = no) {
         return 418;
         break; 
    }
}

if Directives in location are considered as evil due to nginx` strange declaration rules. They're doing most of the time strange things, so try to avoid it.
