I have got Filebrowser installed and it is working using a different
port. I am using port 8485. I used this guide
[https://www.cloudbooklet.com/how-to-install-file-browser-on-
ubuntu-22-04-with-nginx/](https://www.cloudbooklet.com/how-to-install-
file-browser-on-ubuntu-22-04-with-nginx/)

Also this just on my lan network so it can't be accessed outside the
network. So am curious what would I change in the Nginx server block
to work with port 8485. Or do I even need to change anything in the
server block?

What do you want ? Access your filebrowser from outside your network ?

Or have a proxy dns at locally ?

Just locally right now. I eventually want be able to access my home
network from a vpn. But I have not setup openVPN on my Asus router
yet.

Change proxy_pass http://localhost:8080 to proxy_pass
http://localhost:8485

I had this issue and I eventually gave up and went to SFTPGo. Not as
elegant but achieved the same tesult

Do you want reverse proxy ?
That would work without opening all ports if you have a domain.
