I was actually about to upload some more example configuration. For a
reference you'll likely need to have a configuration for apache vhosts too
(or nginx but we currently use apache). We optionally sometimes add
specific vhosts (i.e. centos.osuosl.org) for projects that request it.

This looks interesting and I like it so far basically! We'll have to
discuss particulars about each config file we may need to manage.
