Changing configuration

• Nginx configurations are used by the nginx pod through configmap - nginx-server-block. To make changes you need to update it in values.yaml file of this chart otherwise it uses default values.

Changing static site

• Right now static site has a default html present and this is also a part of configmap, so you can update the staticSite section in values file to make new changes.
