Directory index of "/var/www/html/" is forbidden

I am using docker compose to up my container which works fine but when I try to go to the http://localhost:8080/ I get the following error:

> 2023/07/18 07:22:07 [error] 12#12: *6 directory index of
> "/var/www/html/" is forbidden, client: 172.31.0.1, server: _, request:
> "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost:8080"
> 172.31.0.1 - - [18/Jul/2023:07:22:07 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 196 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like
> Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

And here is my nginx config file named: phirater.test.conf

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name phirater.test;
    root /var/www/html/public;

    index index.php index.htm index.html;

    charset utf-8;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
    }

    access_log /var/log/nginx/phirater.test-access.log;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/phirater.test-error.log error;

    error_page 404 /index.php;

    client_max_body_size 100m;

    location ~ \.php$ {
            include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
            fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
            fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
    }

    location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
            deny all;
    }
}

When I try to hit the following: http://localhost:8080/composer.json it displays the content of the files but http://localhost:8080 return with the error mentioned above.
What I am doing wrong here?

User permissons are like this inside the container:

I tried the solution on various similar question here on SO but none worked.

You're using a named host so you'd need the request URL to match, ie http://phirater.test:8080/.

The server handling your http://localhost:8080/ request is the default one which is why the error mentions /var/www/html and not /var/www/html/public.

You can use your named host by editing your hosts file, however I recommend since it's unlikely you're running nginx with multiple named tenants to simply overwrite the default config.

volumes:
  - phirater-l51/phirater.test.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
  - phirater-l51:/var/www/html
