How to configure nginx for static Angular UIs

In order to make Angular UIs work with nginx, you have to load index.html for any URL where you would otherwise return 404 in order to allow routing to work:

location / {
  try_files $uri $uri$args $uri$args/ /index.html;
}

Full example for default site with API:

server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server;

        root /var/www/html;

        index index.html;

        server_name MyServer;

        location / {
          try_files $uri $uri$args $uri$args/ /index.html;
        }

        location /api {
                proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
        }
}
