python -m nginxctl -w '/tmp/wwwroot' -p 8080 -i '192.168.2.1'
                   -w '/mnt/webroot' -p 9001 -i 'localhost'
                   --location '/api' 
                   --nest
                       --proxy_pass '192.168.2.1/api'
                       --proxy_http_version '1.1'
                       --proxy_set_header 'Upgrade $http_upgrade'
                       --proxy_set_header 'Connection "Upgrade"'
                       --proxy_set_header 'Host $host'
                   --unnest

Advantages

• Extensible to the same level as nginx

Disadvantages

• Verbosity

Concept 1

python -m nginxctl --root '/tmp/wwwroot'
                   --port 8080
                   --listen '192.168.2.1'
                   --websockets '/api:192.168.2.1/api' 

Advantages

• Concision

Disadvantages

• Only predefined macros like websockets
• Hides complexity of building your own

Concept 2

Implement Concept 1, then build a CLI macro system that passes along parameters in a predefined system, so now users/developers can define their own websockets.macro.

Advantages

• Concision
• Extensibility

Disadvantages

• Complexity of implementation

Rollbacks being a big selling point
