You're welcome.

In general, if the questions are unrelated to the first one, it's best
to start a new mail. That'll help someone search for questions and
answers in the future.

In this case, they are kind-of vaguely related, so we'll keep[ them in
this thread.

That is almost certainly because you also have "proxy_cache"
(http://nginx.org/r/proxy_cache) and "proxy_cache_path" defined, but
configured to use part of the filesystem that the nginx user is not
allowed to use -- maybe it was created or first run as one user, and
now this user cannot write there?

The simplest-to-understand fix, assuming that this is a test system
where you are happy to start again, is probably to stop nginx, remove
the /var/lib/nginx/proxy/ directory and all of its contents, create the
directory again as the user that nginx runs as, and then start nginx.

You should then see directories and files created, as cacheable responses
are fetched.

(There are other possible fixes too, of course.)

Something like

location = / { return 301 /metrics/; }

should probably work. Any access control on /metrics/ would still apply
to the next request that the client makes, so it probably is ok not to
require authentication for this one request.

Good luck with it,
