Nginx 404 Error to some subfolders - nginx

Question

Noobie question here.
I've setted up Parse-Server in my Ubuntu droplet and i'm currently dealing with an issue here.
My ssl is from letsencrypt
In this file
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
I have the following
# HTTP - redirect all requests to HTTPS
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
server_name example.com;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
# HTTPS - serve HTML from /usr/share/nginx/html, proxy requests to /parse/
# through to Parse Server
server {
listen 443;
server_name example.com;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm;
ssl on;
# Use certificate and key provided by Let's Encrypt:
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;
ssl_session_timeout 5m;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_ciphers 'EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH';
# Pass requests for /parse/ to Parse Server instance at localhost:1337
location /parse/ {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://localhost:1337/;
proxy_ssl_session_reuse off;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
}
location /test/ {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://localhost:1337/test/;
proxy_ssl_session_reuse off;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
}
location /dashboard/ {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://localhost:4040/dashboard/;
proxy_ssl_session_reuse off;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
So the followin links are working fine
https://example.com/parse/
https://example.com/dashboard/
https://example.com/test/
but they are working cause of the default file has the code to work fine.
I can't do that for all the directories that parse has for example
https://example.com/parse/serverInfo/
is getting a 404 error.
Is there any way to make all the pages available without having to configure them in the default file?
Update
So when I put this inside my default file
location /parse/ {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://localhost:1337/parse/;
proxy_ssl_session_reuse off;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
}
I get no 404 error. This is because of the proxy_pass http://localhost:1337/parse/ that is different from the first file that I've posted here.
But how can i do that for ALL the requests no matter /parse/ or /something/ etc? I cannot right down here ALL the folders and possible links that i will create inside server. Because at this domain I will also setup a website which will have /assets/ etc and it will need each single one.
Isn't there any code to include ALL the possible links that it will be created?

You can capture parts of the location entry using regex group, e.g.
location /(.*) {
...
proxy_pass http://localhost:1337/$1;
...
}
