If this is a standard Docker install, you’ll also need to enter the app first.

```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app

```

Assuming that succeeds, you can print line 46 of the config file with sed:

```plaintext
sed -n '46p' /etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf

```

With the same templates as you and no specific modifications to that config file, I see this:

```plaintext
  return 301 https://discourse.softpress.com$request_uri;

```
