Where to place nginx.conf so its writable but secure?

elemental.tm

Basic Pleskian
Hi,

Being fairly new to Nginx I am trying to figure out where to place nginx.conf so it is in a secure location i.e. not in the website root folder but still writeable, so that in this instance iThemes Security (formerly Better WP Security) is able to update the config settings.

I believe that the normal location would be: domain-name/conf however this is not writeable.

How would you do this and/or what is best practise?

Thanks in advance.
