nginx rule for two locations for files in one directory

I have the following directory:

]# ls /srv/web/logs/
yellow-log  blue-log  log.css

I want to have two links:

What should the nginx rule look like for this? I've tried:

location ~* ^/(?:yellow|blue)-log(?:/|.html)?$ {
    alias /srv/web/logs;
}

but that complains about missing index. I simply want each of those pages to be served when a request is made for them, and both should reside in the same directory. Both use the same log.css file.

You have half the solution. Problem is you use alias when you mean root and you have no path to the CSS file. Assuming the CSS file is relative to the HTML file, it's URI will actually be example.com/log.css. The log files have no extension and therefore require a default_type.

One solution is:

location ~* ^/(?:yellow|blue)-log$ {
  default_type text/html;
  root /srv/web/logs;
}
location = log.css { root /srv/web/logs; }
