/usr/share/nginx/html/nix-cache-info

That indicates your nginx is probably still using the default config.

This is the default config in nginx.conf

user  nginx;
worker_processes  auto;

error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log notice;
pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;


events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}


http {
    include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
                      '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                      '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    keepalive_timeout  65;

    #gzip  on;

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}

Reading the dockerhub page for your image it states

Customize configuration

You can mount your configuration file, or build a new image with it.

If you wish to adapt the default configuration, use something like the following to get it from a running nginx container:

$ docker run --rm --entrypoint=cat nginx /etc/nginx/nginx.conf > /host/path/nginx.conf

And then edit /host/path/nginx.conf in your host file system.

Basically

volumeMounts:
            - name: nix-cache-storage
              mountPath: /data
            - name: nix-cache-config
              mountPath: /etc/nginx/sites-available/default # this should be /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

You might want to take some configuration options from the default config like the user, worker connections, etc.

Good luck.

Thanks for the response. You are right, the config was at the wrong path. Unfortunately, the config itself does not work, too. After a bit of testing around this worked for me:
