Pi-hole v6 comes with an embedded webserver, so neither _`lighttpd`_ nor PHP are used anymore, as mentioned in [Introducing Pi-hole v6](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/introducing-pi-hole-v6/75863#:~:text=Embedded%20Web%20Server%20and%20REST%20API).

This also affects the API endpoint, which in turn may have to be reflected in your nginx configuration.

Other nginx users have shared their adopted configuration, see e.g. [Can't get v6 webinterface behind nginx reverse proxy to work - #4 by stefan](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/cant-get-v6-webinterface-behind-nginx-reverse-proxy-to-work/76231/4).
