Nginx - change the welcome page

Question

I started an nginx container and would like to modify the content of the default page. I changed the file /usr/share/nginx/html/index.html
Unfortunately nginx still shows me the usual welcome page when I curl localhost.

How would I change the default page in nginx?
I disabled cache in nginx via sendfile off;

Probably you did something like this in your Dockerfile:

COPY ./index.html /usr/share/nginx/html/index.html

Try this instead:

COPY ./index.html /usr/share/nginx/html/
