Your nginx setup seems overly complicated, especially as a starting point.

My is:

location / {

        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_redirect off;

        # If it's behind another reverse proxy or CDN, remove the following.
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

}

sbbs is listening on 8080 in my setup

I would suggest this is a pretty simple starting point, and of course you can get fancier as you need or want along the way.
