You might need an extra line

fastcgi_param  HTTP_PROXY "";

in the location .php { block to mitigate https://httpoxy.org vulnerabilities.

thanks you so much

Works For me ,
Laravel 10

The following config worked for me. Here's a video of it in action: Run Laravel via subdirectories on a Nginx server

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name yourdomain.com;

    root /var/www/main/public;

    index index.php index.html;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    location /admin {
 
        alias /var/www/admin/public;

        try_files $uri $uri/ @admin;

        location ~ \.php$ {
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;
            include fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/admin/public/index.php;
        }
    }

    location @admin {
        # Take any requests that start with /admin/ and rewrite them to /admin/index.php (Laravel’s front controller)
        rewrite /admin/(.*)$ /admin/index.php last;
    }

    add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
    add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";

    location = /favicon.ico {
        access_log off; log_not_found off;
    }
    location = /robots.txt {
        access_log off; log_not_found off;
    }

    error_page 404 /index.php;
    charset utf-8;
}

I have done that by using below configuration and its working. The above mentioned gist was displaying 404 "Not Found".

  # sub_directory
  location ^~ /sub_directory {  
      alias /var/www/choppies/sub_directory/public;  
      try_files $uri $uri/ @sub_directory;  

      location ~ \.php {  
          include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
          fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock; 
          fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/choppies/sub_directory/public/index.php;
      }  
  }  

  location @sub_directory {
      rewrite /sub_directory/(.*)$ /sub_directory/index.php?/$1 last;  
  }
  # end sub_directory

worked for me, thanks @SuryaElite

I had to adapt the examples posted by other users because the FPM daemon is running within a docker container, but nginx is not
And nginx does need access to the files to serve them, hence:

• The need to use an alias where the app files are present.
• The need to set the container path (/app) on the SCRIPT_FILENAME fastcgi_param
