### Description

I followed the guide at:  
[https://docs.rocket.chat/quick-start/installing-and-updating/docker-containers#6.-create-the-docker-compose.yml-file-and-local-directories](https://docs.rocket.chat/quick-start/installing-and-updating/docker-containers#6.-create-the-docker-compose.yml-file-and-local-directories)  
as close as possible, installing rocket chat on my VPS server. I used the certbot for step 5 and thus skipped b and c.

HTTPS itself seems to work, but when I try to visit the rocket.chat server in the browser I just get an empty blank page.

I added the nginx conf files and the docker-compose.yml below. Do you need any additional info?

### Server Setup Information

- Version of Rocket.Chat Server: latest (cant see it yet since i cannot login/view the server)
- Operating System: Debian 10
- Deployment Method: docker
- Number of Running Instances: 1
- DB Replicaset Oplog: ?
- NodeJS Version: ?
- MongoDB Version: 4.0
- Proxy: nginx
- Firewalls involved: theoretically ufw, but disabled right now

### Any additional Information
