Suggestion: option to turn off gzip compression by ENV - to be usable behind nginx reverse proxy with sub_filter

[BananaAcid]

Using a nginx reverse proxy and trying to replace content with nginx sub_filter directive, GZIP must be disabled (as uncompressed streams between servers is best anyways, as the outward facing proxy handles SSL and any kind of compression, brotli etc).

Changing the /config/nginx/nginx.conf does not seem to be persistent between reboots.

Any suggestions on how to tackle this?

Adding some env vars to disable compression would be acceptable.

Adding some env vars to disable compression would be acceptable.

Sounds good, as other container handle this as well - would be great to see this in the dockerfile / container.

Do you intend to send a PR? Just to be clear, I don't have the time to look into this anytime soon.

I am probably not able to figure out how --
