ASP.NET behind nginx on linux

Question

I'm currently learning ASP.NET and published my first app on my dev box. Now I'm trying to put it behind nginx.

 location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ @dotnet;
}
    location @dotnet {
            proxy_pass         http://localhost:5000;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header   Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header   Connection keep-alive;
            proxy_set_header   Host $host;
            proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }

But this results in a 403. In Logs it says directory listing is forbidden for /path/to/wwwroot/

At the moment I'm using

    location / {
            proxy_pass         http://localhost:5000;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header   Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header   Connection keep-alive;
            proxy_set_header   Host $host;
            proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }

But this way, static files are served by Kestrel.

Just in case someone else has this issue, here's how I solved it:

    root /path/to/wwwroot;
location / {
        try_files $uri @dotnet;
}
    location @dotnet {
        proxy_pass         http://localhost:5000;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header   Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header   Connection keep-alive;
        proxy_set_header   Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }

Replace try_files $uri $uri/ @dotnet; with try_files $uri @dotnet;
