Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/docker-netbootxyz/issues/107

I just downloaded a fresh install of netbootxyz (0.7.6-nbxyz7).
Menu works, booting from netboot.xyz.efi works, hosting local assets works, but booting from local assets does NOT work, because the nginx server does not run.

systemctl status netbootxyz.service says:
(...) 198 WARN exited: nginx (exit status 1; not expected)
(...) INFO gave up: nginx entered FATAL state, too many start retries too>

Examination of docker container shows that /var/log/nginx/error.log says:
nginx: [emerg] getpwnam("abc") failed in /config/nginx/nginx.conf:1

Any ideas?
I found this: nginx won't start: getpwnam("nginx") failed in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:5

Ok, I think I found the problem:
/config/nginx/nginx.conf starts with the line
user abc;

I think this should read
user nbxyz;

Ok, this file was a local remnant of some older (obviously broken) installation. Sorry for bothering.
