Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/dflow-sh/dflow/issues/480

Originally assigned to: @pavanbhaskardev on GitHub.

Currently, the nginx configuration for servers has default values such as client-max-body-size: 1m, which restricts clients from uploading files larger than 1MB. There is a need to support customization for all available nginx parameters to allow more flexible deployments.

Requested Feature:

Add support for customizing all nginx properties as documented in the Dokku nginx proxy config guide.

Example:

Allow users to set client-max-body-size to desired values (e.g., 10m, 100m, etc.)
Make other nginx parameters configurable through environment variables or configuration files.

Benefit:

Users can tailor nginx's behavior to their application's needs, removing hardcoded limits and enabling advanced configurations.

Acceptance Criteria:

All nginx properties listed in the Dokku documentation can be customized by users.
Document how users can set each property.
Provide sensible defaults to avoid breaking existing deployments.
