    # quic and http/3
    listen 443 http3 reuseport;

    # http/2 and http/1.1
    listen 443 ssl http2;

    server_name localhost;  # customize to match your domain

    # you need to mount these files when running this container
    ssl_certificate     /etc/nginx/ssl/localhost.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/localhost.key;

    # Enable all TLS versions (TLSv1.3 is required for QUIC).
    ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;

    # 0-RTT QUIC connection resumption
    ssl_early_data on;

    # Add Alt-Svc header to negotiate HTTP/3.
    add_header alt-svc 'h3-27=":443"; ma=86400, h3-28=":443"; ma=86400, h3-29=":443"; ma=86400';
