Well, I am not very good in security. I am using my own username, simply
because
it makes the file ownership to me and this way I can copy/edit/delete them
easily. :D
I am sure some more advanced Linux user will make it other way. I am not a good
example
of linux admin.

Yes, if your web site is located there. My own site is located in
/home/www/[virtual hosts]
but, see above.

Yes, or change the path in the .service file if you prefer to install it
somewhere else.

No. Once you execute "sudo systemctl enable fossil", systemd will start this
service on every reboot.
You can manually control the service by "sudo systemctl
[start|stop|restart|status] SERVICENAME"

In the section "server{}". If you have several "server{}" sections, it means you
have several virtual hosts (subdomains). Then insert it in the "server" section
of
the subdomain you want to have fossil directory.
There are many variants of the nginx config files. For example I have one main
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf file and
several include files (one for every subdomain) in /etc/nginx/websites/
subdirectory. The include files contain
only settings for the separate subdomain servers, so, my fossil "location"
section is in one of these.
In your case it can be different. What is the best config pattern? I don't know
actually.
