I found a solution through reading the source code. Just add the root location directive block in the proxy advanced configuration, then the root location of reverse proxy will not be generated. The relevant source code is as follows:

https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/blob/develop/backend/internal/nginx.js#L220

To complete the response here :

you can create a dummy nginx conf like this :

And then add an advanced configuration like this

root                   /downloads;
location / {
  autoindex             on;
  autoindex_exact_size  on;
  autoindex_format      html;
  autoindex_localtime   on;
}

⚠️ the path has to be mounted in you docker / docker-compose file.

I have a question.

What does http://localhost:11111/ mean?

root /deploy;
location / {
autoindex on;
autoindex_exact_size on;
autoindex_format html;
autoindex_localtime on;
}

Should the root location here be aligned with the docker-compose file location?

I'm asking because I'm currently encountering a 404 not-found error.

the guy had mention,⚠️ the path has to be mounted in you docker / docker-compose file.

i think you might don't know how to do,so i give a example,if your html files location in /srv
then ,you should edit your docker-compose.yml like this:

    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
      - /srv:/srv

then 404 will disappear
