Slow web interface and upload/download speed

So I’m trying to make things work without reverse proxying, but I’m getting 404 file not found in the browser. I don’t know how I can properly debug it either. Here is what changed:

I’m using the fpm version for the nextcloud container instead of the apache version (I was always using cron). I removed the VIRTUAL_HOST env variable from the container so nginx-proxy will not generate proxy configs for it.

My docker-compose.yml looks like this:

version: '3'

services:
  
  redis:
    image: redis:5.0.7-alpine
    restart: always
    networks:
      - files-tier

  files_db:
    image: postgres:11-alpine
    #image: postgres:alpine

      - files_db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=
      - POSTGRES_USER=postgres
    networks:
      - files-tier

      #- SMTP_HOST=mailsender
  
  files:
    build: ./files
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - nextcloud:/var/www/html
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=
      - POSTGRES_USER=postgres
      - POSTGRES_HOST=files_db
      - POSTGRES_DB=nextcloud
      - REDIS_HOST=redis
      - MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=noreply@files.somedomain.com
      - LETSENCRYPT_HOST=files.somedomain.com
      - LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=bob@example.com
    depends_on:
      - files_db
      - redis
    networks:
      - proxy-tier
      - files-tier

I added this nginx configuration file to the proxy container:

log_format nc '$host $remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] '
              '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent '
              '"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent"';

upstream php-handler {
    server files:9000;
}

server {
    server_name files.somedomain.com;
    listen 80 ;
    listen [::]:80;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log nc;
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {

    server_name files.somedomain.com;
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log nc;
    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/files.somedomain.com.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certs/files.somedomain.com.key;

And restarted everything. I keep getting 404 errors, even if I remove the files container. I can’t see any more details about why this is happening.
