Nginx: 404 Not Found error as reverse proxy - nginx

Question

I am trying to configure Nginx as reverse proxy keeping Uvicorn behind it.
When I try to access "example.com", it returns the home page but gives 404 for all static files.
When I try to access any other endpoint like "example.com/blog", it returns "404 not found" page.
Here is the Nginx config:
server {
root /var/www/example.com/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
#custom config
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_pass http://uvicorn;
}
listen [::]:443 ssl ipv6only=on; # managed by Certbot
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = example.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
default upgrade;
'' close;
}
upstream uvicorn {
server unix:/tmp/uvicorn.sock;
}
What changes should I do to make it work?

Answer 1

As per the suggestion given by #richard-smith in the comment, I tried commenting out this line
location / {
#try_files $uri $uri/ =404; <-- here
#custom config
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_pass http://uvicorn;
}
and it worked fine. It is now able to serve all the endpoints.
