Nginx in docker - [emerg] 1#1: open() "/etc/nginx/nginx.conf" failed (2: No such file or directory)

Hi,
I have a problem on my basic configuration with my environment with nginx,mysql,wordpress,mediawiki (local on Windows 10 PC). I use docker-compose to build the environment, and all is done, but after e few seconds the nginx container go down with the status Exited (1) 12 seconds ago . My configuration is really basic and I don’t understand why it doesn’t works… This is my nginx config:

events { worker_connections 1024; }
http {
    # this part is www redirect
    server {
      server_name blog;
      listen 80;
      #return 301 http://blog$request_uri;
      location / {
            proxy_set_header   Host $host;
            proxy_pass http://blog:80;
        }
    }
    server {
      server_name wiki;
      listen 80;
      #return 301 http://wiki$request_uri;
      location / {
            proxy_set_header   Host $host;
            proxy_pass http://wiki:80;
        }
    }
}

And this is my compose file:

version: "3.7"
services:
  site-db:
    image: mysql:5.7
    volumes:
      - ./mysql:/var/lib/mysql
    networks:
      - site-net
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: password
      MYSQL_USER: user
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: password
    restart: always
    ports: 
      - 3306:3306
  nginx:
    build:
      context: .
      target: runtime-nginx
      dockerfile: nginx/Dockerfile
    image: nginx
    depends_on:
      - blog
      - wiki
    networks:
      - site-net
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      - ./:/etc/nginx
  blog:
    depends_on:
       - site-db
    image: wordpress
    networks:
      - site-net
    restart: always
    environment:
      WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: blog
      WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: site-db:3306
      WORDPRESS_DB_USER: root
      WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: password
    working_dir: /var/www/html
    volumes:
      - ./blog:/var/www/html
  wiki:
    depends_on:
       - site-db
    image: mediawiki
    networks:
      - site-net
    restart: always
    environment:
      WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: wiki
      WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: site-db:3306
      WORDPRESS_DB_USER: root
      WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: password
    working_dir: /var/www/html
    volumes:
      - ./wiki:/var/www/html
networks:
  site-net:
    driver: bridge

What can be wrong in this basic config? Thank you very much for the help.

So what can I do? the file exists in the directory (where i run the powershell)…

Output of the directory from where i launch the powershell :

ls


    Directory: C:\Users\XXX\Documents\DOCKER\COMPOSE


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name

-a----       14/01/2021     20:39           1350 docker-compose.yml
-a----       05/01/2021     15:26            525 nginx.conf

The nginx.conf is both in the root and in the nginx folder.

The nginx container works if I delete the volumes section, but at that point… how can I put the config file in the container?

Thanks for the support!

 it seems that the reason is commend of "volumes" in docker-compose.yml will delete the container's file which you want to mount out as ones the nginx running but can't find  nginx.conf so it will throw error.
to fixed this problem you can refrence the official docker images which publiched in hub.docker.com.

refrence:Docker Hub

Complex configuration

$ docker run --name my-custom-nginx-container -v /host/path/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro -d nginx

If you wish to adapt the default configuration, use something like the following to copy it from a running nginx container:

$ docker run --name tmp-nginx-container -d nginx
$ docker cp tmp-nginx-container:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf /host/path/nginx.conf
$ docker rm -f tmp-nginx-container

This can also be accomplished more cleanly using a simple Dockerfile (in /host/path/ ):

FROM nginx
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
