How to get content of default nginx configuration file in Docker environment on Ubuntu

Question

Does anyone can point me in the right direction

I'm trying to get the content of default nginx conf file, but I can't find it anywhere in the system.

Tried:

/usr/local/nginx/conf
/etc/nginx
/usr/local/etc/nginx

all patch are not exist

My container is up and running, it shows default nginx successful install page.

Assuming you used the official nginx container, the content is located at etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf and it's:

root@5b67d1564b45:/# cat /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  localhost;

    #charset koi8-r;
    #access_log  /var/log/nginx/host.access.log  main;

    location / {
        root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
        index  index.html index.htm;
    }

    #error_page  404              /404.html;

    # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
    #
    error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }

    # proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
    #
    #location ~ \.php$ {
    #    proxy_pass   http://127.0.0.1;
    #}

    # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
    #
    #location ~ \.php$ {
    #    root           html;
    #    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
    #    fastcgi_index  index.php;
    #    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
    #    include        fastcgi_params;
    #}

    # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
    # concurs with nginx's one
    #
    #location ~ /\.ht {
    #    deny  all;
    #}
}

But why are you interested in this? Usually what you want to do is to use your own config, not the default one.
