Yes, indeed, a 'static' file handler is needed but failing to implement one.

The setup briefly is as follows: Debian10 on a Linode, running Perl 5.28 and Mojolicious 9.17

The simple_app was setup automatically with 'mojo' and in the simple_image.yml, one directive was added:

hypnotoad:
  proxy:
    - 1
[download]

The tree.png appears in the Welcome page (with the favicon.ico), when runs directly under 'daemon' server. The hypnotoad server was set-up as a systemd service with the most recent Nginx configuration as:

upstream backendurl {
    server 127.0.0.1:8080  fail_timeout=0;
}

server {
  listen  80;
  listen [::]:80;
  server_name example.com www.example.com;
 
  access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
  error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log info;
  root /var/www/simple_image/public;

  location / {
    try_files $uri @proxy;
    access_log off;
    expires max;
    add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' 'http://example.com';
  }
 
  location @proxy {
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_pass       http://backendurl;
  }
 
}
[download]

The default simple_image app runs properly but without rendering the tree.png image nor the favicon. When this url is enter: http://example.com/tree.png - the image alone appears together with the favicon.
