At this point, what is not really helpful is you saying the results are
not really helpful.

What you should be saying instead is (1) what search result you used,
(2) what you tried exactly and (3) hot it failed.

To prove you are not having a XY problem, you need to explain why you
think an instance of nginx per user is preferable to the built-in
mechanism it offers for dav.

As said above, you need to show exactly what you did and how it failed.
