Can I use yast2-http-server and additional manual configuration?

I mean for the basic stuff yast is just fine. It keeps things sorted and I don’t have to care about syntax errors.
I works well if several admins are touching the machine.

But sooner or later I need to configure something more tricky by just editing the configuration file.

Is there a compatible way how I can edit the configuration? When I just made my changes
yast warned that some changes might be lost, This is obviously the case if there is no defined
way how/where I can make my own changes. But “might be” is not an acceptable thing when configuring
Apache.

One way seems to be writing additional vhost.d/*.conf files. Apache includes them and yast
doesn’t seem to worry. Probably I could include also other stuff than vhosts, I haven’t tried.

Any other way?

With some modules, like postfix, when you modify the configuration by hand,
YaST notices and will not touch it again.

With some other modules YaST will overwrite and undo your manual
modifications, and I do not have a list of which modules do this. In that
case you have to remember to never use that YaST module again, perhaps even
uninstall it to avoid accidents.
