Hi everyone,

i have a question about **nginx** that have come in one package when using helm install command,  
is there any best practice or something that i can do, to modified _nginx.conf_ that were inside the kubernetes it self, i have try to edit what inside _nginx.conf_ using Config Map, but it looks like it doesn’t effect anything(it’s not updating value inside the _nginx.conf_) and rather it just getting an error,

```
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  labels:
     app: nginx-ingress
     chart: nginx-ingress-0.28.3
     component: controller
     heritage: Tiller
     release: ranting-ladybug **nginx controller that were being generate after helm install**
    name: ranting-ladybug-nginx-ingress-controller
    namespace: kube-system
data:
  http-snippet: | **and this is the data that i want to update inside nginx.conf**
    proxy_buffer_size 512k;
    proxy_buffers 4 256k;
    proxy_busy_buffers_size 256k;
    large_client_header_buffers 4 16k;

```

this is what inside my Config Map .yaml, i would like to hear some advice from you guys or a better practice for this kind of work…

thanks.
