Hello,
I have hosted Nginx 1.16.1 on Ubuntu 16.04. Have configured SSL from
LetsEncrypt. Everything is running fine. Only port 80 and 443 are allowed.

During security testing, I see that kernel information is exposed on
domain.Is there any way to hide kernel information using Nginx ?

Can I compile nginx on Ubuntu 16.04 and reuse it on other deployments? Or
do I need to compile every time ? Please advise.
