    Your nginx setup seems overly complicated, especially as a starting point.

    My is:

    location / {

    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_redirect off;

    # If it's behind another reverse proxy or CDN, remove the following.
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

    }

    sbbs is listening on 8080 in my setup

    I would suggest this is a pretty simple starting point, and of course you can get fancier as you need or want along the way.
