-* Change `ssl_certificate` to `/etc/ssl/example.tld/fullchain.pem`.
-* Change `ssl_certificate_key` to `/etc/ssl/example.tld/privkey.pem`.
-* Change all references of `example.tld` to your instance's domain name.

+### Configuring nginx
+
+FreeBSD's default nginx configuration does not contain an include directive, which is
+typically used for multiple sites. Therefore, you will need to first create the required
+directory as follows:

+```
+# mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites-available
+```
+
+Next, add an `include` directive to `/usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`, within the `http {}`
