Hi. I'm very new to Linux and Nginx, so forgive me silly question.
I use Nginx with Certbot as reverse proxy on my little home server, with few apps on it. My Nginx version is 1.12. and I've heard that it has some security issues. So I decided to update Nginx to most recent stable version. As I said before I'm not good in all that Linux stuff, so I found some tutorials, how to make an update. But all of them made just new install of 1.16 without my config, which is quite complicated (a least for me).
So is there any chance to make a simple update to most recent stable version, without loosing my current config? If it's not too much, step by step instruction would be great.
