Do I need to create my own nginx.conf file to run this docker-composer.yml file succesfully?

Question

I am trying to get a nextcloud + mariadb + nginx docker-compose up and running locally, but I am stuck when it comes to the nginx.conf file. I am following this guide at the base-fpm section. Here is the docker-compose.yml file, what I ran in my CLI and the error i got:

Do I need to create a nginx.conf file and place it in my work directory? The guide does mention this:

The configuration for nginx is stored in the configuration file nginx.conf, that is mounted into the container. An example can be found in the examples section here.

But when I follow that link, I can't seem to find any example of nginx.conf files.

Looks like other people are also searching for the file, so I'll add the link from my comment to the right file here:
