nginx rule for Laravel livewire file previews in Laravel template

[afraazali]

When using Laravel Livewire, there's a route that serves temporary URL's for images. The current nginx configuration tries to serve this as a static asset, due to the NGINX_STATIC_EXT_REGEX variable.

An example URL would look something like:

`http://example.docker.localhost/livewire/preview-file/r749ij99RQtR3drbNwm4Rur1Yb8qcS-metadGVzdC5qcGc=-.jpg?expires=1731020399&signature=5629fe3d3ab274a1db61976b12b24c53a28ba3084979d38ce5619cf2e95d2465

The current workaround is to simply remove jpe?g from the NGINX_STATIC_EXT_REGEX variable. Another work around is to create your own preset.

Would it be possible to add the follow location directive to the laravel preset:

location ~* /livewire/preview-file {
    expires off;
    try_files $uri /index.php?$args;
}

Adding the above works, but I'm not sure it's the most efficient or correct way of handling the use case.
