Hello! I’m newbie to setting proxies for a server. I use influxdb together with chronograf in the docker on the AWS EC2 instance and want to configure proxies for influxdb for greater security, but when I try to do this, I get errors related to the incorrect configuration of the nginx file, please tell me how to configure it.  
My nginx conf: [nginx conf](https://pastebin.com/y7QgqHWP)  
My docker-compose file: [docker-compose](https://pastebin.com/vQ31fHFW)
