I have read through the config [here](https://community.kinsta.com/t/nginx-configuration-for-bedrock/201) and the steps work fine, although I have to open the terminal from the Docker GUI rather than with `docker exec -it devkinsta_nginx bash`
So the steps i do are:
1. Open terminal window on `devkinsta_nginx`
2. Run `cd etc/nginx/sites/`
3. Run `nano mysite.conf`
4. Change the root from `/www/kinsta/public/mysite` to `/www/kinsta/public/mysite/webroot`
5. Exit and save, then `nginx -s reload`
Site works fine but my site root within DevKinsta still shows the old one. If I close DevKinsta or start/stop site it then reverts back to the original root.
Do i have to do these steps every time i work on a job?

Hi @reformatco, welcome to DevKinsta!
Yes, unfortunately you will need to redo any NGINX container changes every time the NGINX container is restarted. I know our developers had this on their radar a while back but please feel free to submit a[Feature Request](https://community.kinsta.com/c/feature-requests/6) for easier NGINX configuration just to “bump” this issue up.
