title: How do I make this directory public with nginx?<
body: <p>I have a ghost.org pre-built droplet on DigitalOcean that I'm willing to use for a music production blog. This is what my site conf looks like:</p>
  <pre><code>server {
      listen 80;
      listen [::]:80;
  
      server_name mydomain.com;
      root /var/www/ghost/system/nginx-root; # Used for acme.sh SSL verification (https://acme.sh)
  
      location / {
          proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
          proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
          proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
          proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
          proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2369;
  
      }
  
      location ~ /.well-known {
          allow all;
      }
  
      client_max_body_size 50m;
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>I want to serve some html pages I uploaded at this directory /var/www/downloads when people visits my domain.com/downloads. How do I do it leaving everything else working? I've tried this</p>
  <pre><code>location /downloads/ {
      alias /var/www/downloads/;
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>but it did not work. Any help?</p>
  <p>Thanks!</p>
