'location' as an alias for 'server'?

Server NGINX
1

I have nginx set up with several servers in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

However, I want to convert my setup to one domain myserver.com ,
so
typing in a browser

"lalala.com"

will no longer get me to the appropriate /usr/share/webapps/lalala
subfolder.

Therefore, I want to create some kind of bind (if possible) so that if I
type

"myserver.com/lalala"

it will redirect me to /usr/share/webapps while still applying all
the
configuration from
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lalala

Is it doable, or do I have to rewrite all the server files from
/sites-enabled/ as locations?

The fact that sites-enabled contains 1 file per server is a de facto
standard. From nginx point of view, those are just include like others.
Since nginx.conf must have some include sites-enabled/*.conf rule, those
files are already loaded at http level.

To have the behavior you wish, I would do the following:
location /lalala {
alias /usr/share/webapps;
include locations/lalala.conf;
}

The locations directory shall include your per-location rules.

Note that directives working at server level might not do inside a
location. Those are 2 different scope with specific purposes.

I hope you know what you are doing. I do not know what you have in mind.
