Replace bash variables in template file

I am trying to use Bash to run the installation process form. During this process, the configuration file is copied and some values ​​are replaced inside it. This configuration can be found below:

server {
    listen 80;
    root ${INSTALLPATH};
    server_name ${SITEURL};

    client_max_body_size 20m;
    client_body_timeout 120s;

    location / {
        try_files /public/router.php =404;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
        fastcgi_pass ${PHPSERV};
        fastcgi_index router.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    }

    location /assets {
        try_files /app/$uri =404;
    }

}

#Enables HTTPS access
#This requires you to install certificates and is not enabled by default
#If you wish to enable HTTPS, uncomment (remove the #s) from the below lines
#And change the ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key to point to the     correct
#certificates.

#server {
#    listen 443;
#    root ${INSTALLPATH};
#    server_name ${SITEURL};
#
#    ssl on;
#    ssl_certificate     /etc/nginx/ssl/site.crt;
#    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/site.key;
#
#    location / {
#        try_files /public/router.php =404;
#        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
#        fastcgi_pass ${PHPSERV};
#        fastcgi_index router.php;
#        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
#        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
#    }
#
#    location /assets {
#        try_files /app/$uri =404;
#    }
#
#}

I found that most examples explain the use of eval, and I tried to use this to perform this replacement, however, it seems that the file here is not expanding correctly, and Bash is trying to accomplish some things and cannot.

I currently have this

INSTALLPATH="/var/www/html/mycustomsite/"
PHPSERV="127.0.0.1:9000"
SITEURL="example.com"

while read -r line; do
    eval echo -e "${line}"
done < template

However, this incorrectly replaces the declared values ​​and does not generate the file correctly. It loses, for example, any line starting with C #, and tries to execute others (along with the loss of some interval).

What would be the correct way using only Bash and the commands available on most Linux systems?
