Nginx reverse proxy for docker web services - apache

Question

I am trying to use nginx as reverse proxy with ssl to access my locally running web services deployed by docker containers. When specifying locations in nginx, I don't only get the start page of the server but I am not able to follow any links on that page. Besides that, Images of my web service are not displayed.
I have already read the nginx documentation and tried out a lot of different things. For instance, when I am just omitting the location, the web service runs perfectly fine.
Working example of the nginx.conf:
location /{
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:7081/;
include /etc/nginx/proxy_params;
}
Not Working example of the nginx.conf:
location /wiki/ {
rewrite ^/wiki(.*) /$1 break;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:7081/;
include /etc/nginx/proxy_params;
}
I am obviously missing something in the latter example. Does anyone know, what I am missing, so that I can simply proxy pass request directly to my dockerized web service?
EDIT:
Here a more and hopefully reproducible example:
The docker container I launched, was simply a base MediaWiki which was published internally on localhost on port 7081.
docker run --name some-mediawiki -p 127.0.0.1:7081:80 -d mediawiki
The file in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default looks like this:
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
default upgrade;
'' close;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name my.domain.de;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri; }
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name my.domain.de*;

}
}
