I noticed that ploi installs nginx 1.18.0, which is outdated since 20 Apr 2021 and thus not even receives security patches. Also, I needed to update the version because of missing features that I had to use in my projects. In my case it was the `ssl_reject_handshake` directive. Please consider implementing an update process for the nginx server.

I used https://medium.com/@bhojport/installing-a-specific-version-of-nginx-on-ubuntu-or-any-other-platform-4fed8e859534 to upgrade to the latest nginx version.

Fixed in newly provisioned servers since a week! 🙌
