Homebrew nginx (Valet version) with custom config:

valet_nginx_custom_config.md

In /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf (default config), Valet has included these lines:

# ...

    include "/Users/sten/.config/valet/Nginx/*";
    include servers/*; # 👈
    include valet/valet.conf;

# ...

so:

mkdir -p /usr/local/share/nginx
cd /usr/local/share/nginx
ln -sfv /usr/local/var/www html

mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/nginx/servers
cd /usr/local/etc/nginx/servers
touch static 3030to3000

/usr/local/etc/nginx/servers/static:

server {
  listen 8080;
  server_name localhost;

  root /usr/local/share/nginx/html;

  add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
  add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
  add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";

  index index.html;

  charset utf-8;

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html?$query_string;
  }

  location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
  location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

  error_page 404 /index.html;

  location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
    deny all;
  }
}
