Is there a better nginx.conf docker example file? Specifically one that listens on 443? Or can i just use the one that comes with ansible?

Thanks

    Here’s the config file that I use, of course you do need to make sure that the ssl certificate files are located in the right folders. Another change I made is that application/json requests are redirected to the backend as well, this behavior seems to match most big instances.

    worker_processes 1;
    events {
        worker_connections 1024;
    }
    http {
        upstream lemmy {
            # this needs to map to the lemmy (server) docker service hostname
            server "lemmy:8536";
        }
        upstream lemmy-ui {
            # this needs to map to the lemmy-ui docker service hostname
            server "lemmy-ui:1234";
        }
    
        server {
            # this is the port inside docker, not the public one yet
            listen 80;
            listen 443 ssl;
    
            ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/actuallyruben.nl/fullchain.pem;
            ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/actuallyruben.nl/privkey.pem;
    
            # change if needed, this is facing the public web
            server_name actuallyruben.nl;
            server_tokens off;
    
            gzip on;
            gzip_types text/css application/javascript image/svg+xml;
            gzip_vary on;
