If user cleanly follow install instructions Setup app will create nginx `default.conf` (and other files) with `644` permission owned by `bitwarden:bitwarden`. During Nginx entrypoint script it copies generated `default.conf` to `/etc/nginx/conf.d/` but without `-p` flag new file permissions would be `root:root 644`. Then during startup Nginx will start as `bitwarden` user, which will not cause any issues by itself as `default.conf` is still readable by the world. The issue is that for some reason some users have their Nginx config file (or sometimes even entire `bwdata` recursively) have `600` or `700` permissions. In this case Nginx will fail to start due to `default.conf` not readable by `bitwarden` user. I assume that root cause is that some users mistakenly run `sudo chmod -R 700 /opt/bitwarden` from Linux installation guide after they have run `./bitwarden.sh install`. Or maybe some older version of Setup app where creating `default.conf` with `600` permissions and users are using very legacy installations. Whatever may be the case I do not see any harm with copying with `-p` it even looks to me that this was the intended behavior. This will both fix the issue for mentioned users and preserve permission structure aligned with other files.
