Where does nginx store the default error pages it outputs on disk? I.E. the standard 404 looking like:

404 Not Found

404 Not Found

nginx

Hopefully these are not hard-coded into the nginx source. Thanks.

    Check out html folder in the nginx directory – there should be 50x pages.

    By default, I believe, all “special pages”, including 404 page are hardcoded

    static char ngx_http_error_404_page[] =
"<html>" CRLF
"<head><title>404 Not Found</title></head>" CRLF
"<body>" CRLF
"<center><h1>404 Not Found</h1></center>" CRLF
;

    Source: https://github.com/nginx/nginx/blob/release-1.15.8/src/http/ngx_http_special_response.c#L132

    but can be customized: 

    server {
    ...
    error_page 404 /404.html;
    ...
}
