Disable brotli compression for single nginx vhost

Question

I have a handful of websites on a single server, setup using https://serverpilot.io/

It enables brotli compression for all sites by default but I would like to disable this on a single site that sits behind a third party firewall that doesn't like the compression.

In /etc/nginx-sp/vhosts.d/site-name.conf I have tried

server {
    gzip off;
    gzip_vary off;
    brotli_static off;

I have also added these 3 lines /etc/nginx-sp/vhosts.d/site-name.d/main.conf

location / {
    proxy_pass      $backend_protocol://$backend_host:$backend_port;
    gzip off;
    gzip_vary off;
    brotli_static off;
}

However after a sudo service nginx-sp restart I'm still seeing

content-encoding:br in static asset requests

Answer 1

Fixed with

brotli off;
brotli_static off;
