Let us try to dissect it, Does this work without docker?

If yes, Let us look at what ports are you exposing to outside world from your container For example: in docker-compose you need to expose it like below,

NOTE: see "ports" NOT "expose", which tells: "For external world I am exposing 8080, from there I will route internally to port 80 in the container"

  nginx:
    build:
       context: ./nginx
       dockerfile: Dockerfile
    command: /usr/sbin/nginx -g 'daemon off;' -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
    container_name: my_nginx_server
    tty: true
    expose:
        - "80" #This is internal to container network
    ports:
     - "8080:80" #HOST:CONTAINER

if you are using command-line, then it should have "-p 8080:80" while running container

If it does not work without docker, check ngnix<-->uwsgi (or whatever) <-->your_app settings.

Please share more info, dockerfile, docker-compose.yml
