EmberJS & Nginx - Routes return 404's - nginx

Question

It seems like a simple problem but I cannot find any official information about how to fix it.
The problem: Deploying an EmberJS app to Nginx - all routes return 404's.
The root route / works just fine. However any route besides / fails & returns 404's. Here's how I have my nginx.conf setup:
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 {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /home/ivo/myapp;
index index.html;
location / {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html?/$request_uri;
}
}
}
This config is largely based on the nginx.conf that comes with the Nginx Docker image, which I am using.
From what I understand about Nginx, the location / block should be handling my routes, but for some reason it is not.
As a side note, I am shocked that EmberJS does not have any documentation about this at all. I even tried their Nginx config from their deployment section and it too did not work - https://ember-cli.com/user-guide/#deployments

Found & "fixed" the problem. The underlying issue is that the information provided on the Nginx DockerHub page is misleading. It says:
"If you wish to adapt the default configuration, use something like the following to copy it from a running nginx container"
And it provides this line as an example:
"COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf"
However, the file located at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf was not the file I needed. Instead, the file I needed to change/replace was located here : "/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf"
The code I pasted above in the Question portion worked fine; it was the location that was wrong.
