I'm trying to create a reverse proxy using nginx running in docker. I have set up the nginx.conf file and it's running fine locally. However, I don't know how to set up the nginx docker with this changed nginx.conf file. Is there any way to do this?

You need to copy your nginx.conf to your container:

For example: COPY conf /etc/nginx

Docs here: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/installing-nginx/installing-nginx-docker/#managing-content-and-configuration-files

In your Dockerfile, add an instruction to copy your project's reverse proxy configured ngxin.conf into the docker image you intend to build, in the location where nginx will look for its configurations. For example, assuming your base image is Debian, you could do the following in your Dockerfile:

# Move the default conf out of the way
RUN mv /etc/nginx/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf_orig 
# Copy in your project's new nginx conf
RUN cp my_project/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
