Nginx in docker container doesn't catch any request - docker

Question

I ahve a react app which I've deployed into a docker container, from the image nginx:alpine.
When I access the URL, I don't get anything when doing docker logs -f nginx for some reason. (basically, I think nginx doesn't catch any request) and the browser says "Unable to connect".
This is my first deployment so I might be doing something wrong :)
Here's the nginx entry from docker-compose
nginx:
container_name: best-nginx
build:
context: .
restart: always
image: nginx:alpine
volumes:
- ./nginx/default.conf:/etc/nginx/default.conf
- ./certs:/etc/nginx/certs
ports:
- "443:443"
default.conf
server {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name myservername.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location /keycloak {
proxy_pass http://localhost:28080/;
}
listen [::]:443 ssl ipv6only=on; # managed by Certbot
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certs/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
}

why does my nginx not catch any request and how can I fix it?
Thanks.

config mounted to wrong path should be under /etc/nginx/conf.d/
- ./nginx/default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
