Custom index

Hello, I’ve tried to follow the suggestion wrote in GitHub as explained in topic:

[jitsi-dev] Seperate welcome page (index.html)/videoconference

Hi It will be nice to seperate the welcome page and the videoconference page so we can have a welcome page (index.html) with the "create a room box" (and less javascript) and our own welcome message. and another page for the conference (with nothing to hide like welcome page, create a room box, etc) when we will create a room in index.html it will bring us to the room in another html page it will be more clean and it will be perfect when we update jitsi meet. We can save our own index.html …

But this doesn’t work at all…
Adding

location = / {
rewrite ^/$ /custom_index.html break;
}

doesn’t seems to have any effect neither replacing the preexisting 301 rule
