Is there a problem with keeping the backend of an NGINX server in /var/www ? (sh.itjust.works)

Hi all. I'm looking to make a backend in my NGINX server, for a website that only gets a few views. Right now I'm managing the files of the site using Git, with /var/www/ as the folder on github. I'm looking to create an ip logger to plot onto a map, and I'm wondering if there are any problems with hosting it on /var/www. My main concerns are if it's accessible to other users or if it'll slow down NGINX. I'm absolutely able to do it in another folder, but I am wondering if there are any problems with keeping any files in /var/www. To my knowledge, only past /var/www/html is viewable by a connection.

Thanks!
