Why doesn't SEF work on nginx server on joomla?

Question

Nginx

I am transferring a site on cms joomla to another server. I decided to abandon apache (before that it was nginx + apache). I put on nginx + php-fpm. As a result, all links on the site stopped working.
Links lead to a 404 page. If you add try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; it turns out redirecting just to the main one and that's it.
There is no CNC setting in the .htaccess file.
Can you point out what I missed?
Joomla! 3.9.8 Stable [ Amani ]
Joomla Platform 13.1.0 Stable [ Curiosity ]

Answer 1

I saw this topic, tried to use this configuration .. Without results. The CNC does not work. Everywhere, including in this topic, one directive try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
but I don't quite understand its meaning in friendly urls. It turns out if there is no match for the url link or directory, there is a redirect to the main one. Well, all my non-working links instead of 404 lead with this directive to the main one. What's the point?

(SEF) URLs are links to articles on your site in a human-readable form. If this option is enabled, then all links to your posts/articles from abracadabra turn into links to html pages.
In order for this to work in Joomla on a server with Nginx, you need to add the following lines to your site's configuration file and restart Nginx for the changes to take effect:
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php? q=$request_uri;
}
Next, go to the admin panel, go to the Global Configuration section and check the box next to Search Engine Friendly (SEF) URLs
