try_files not fixing 404 in EC2 container

I've seen multiple answers to make nginx server route an Angular application properly, but no solution has worked for me yet.

I ran nginx -s reload after adding try_files to etc/nginx/nginx.conf

The complete nginx.conf file looks like this

user  nginx;worker_processes  1;error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;events {    worker_connections  1024;}http {    include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;    default_type  application/octet-stream;    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request"''$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer"''"$http_user_agent""$http_x_forwarded_for"';    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;    sendfile        on;    #tcp_nopush     on;    keepalive_timeout  65;    #gzip  on;   include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;   server {      location / {         try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;      }   }}

Also I've seen multiple answers making changes to /etc/nginx/sites-available/ but my nginx server simply does not have that folder.

Could it be the way I am deploying to my server? For that I am using docker as follows:

FROM node:alpine as BUILDWORKDIR /my-webCOPY package.json .RUN npm installCOPY . .RUN npm run buildFROM nginxEXPOSE 80COPY --from=BUILD /my-web/dist/app /usr/share/nginx/html

and the output path in angular.json is "outputPath": "dist/app"

The url of the app is ec2-xx-xxx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com but refreshing pages and manually navigating to pages still does not work.

I am using Angular 8
