Hello, I'm using https://hub.docker.com/r/openresty/openresty/ for Lua support, once I start Nginx, the error occurred

I switched to official Nginx image. openresty image need more tests.

I solved this by moving the content of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf to /etc/nginx/conf.d/metrics.conf, and removing the http block. Since OpenResty does not include /etc/nginx/nginx.conf by default.
