Can no longer reload nginx server? Error: ```auto nginx: [warn] the "http2_max_header_size" directive is obsolete, use the "large_client_header_buffers" directive instead in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:17 ``` Originally, I was trying `systemctl reload nginx` found in this thread: [Wordpress in Subdirectory - not loading the page - #3 by Michael\_Luwado](https://community.kinsta.com/t/wordpress-in-subdirectory-not-loading-the-page/657/3). However, I think there have been some updates since this, because even the commands to install nano don’t work on Alpine Linux. I had to use `apk update` and then `apk install nano`. I’m now following [this documentation](https://www.howtogeek.com/devops/how-to-gracefully-restart-nginx-and-why/) from another thread to try and reload nginx. ---

Hi @emcaleb, , I’ve been able to use `nginx -s reload`. Nginx should still reload in spite of those warnings. I believe some containers have been simplified to improve performance/reduce size.
