The WebUI doesn't work for me on my webserver, I think it gets lost somewhere in the current Apache/Nginx config.

 

So I wanted to add a shared folder by doing it with a .conf file. Created a folder and added the secret key from a folder on my other server. Everything looked right, so I was happy.
