Nginx is not proxying Gunicorn

I'm trying to deploy my Flask project using Gunicorn and Nginx but I'm still struggling.

/etc/systemd/system/gunicorn3.service

[Unit] Description=Gunicorn service After=network.target

[Service]
User=www-data
Group=adm 
WorkingDirectory=/home/project/
Environment="PATH=/home/project/env/bin" 
ExecStart=/home/project/env/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:cima.sock -m 007 run:app

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then I check if there's any problem, everything seems OK

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/project

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name 127.0.0.1;

    location / {
        include proxy_params;
        proxy_pass http://unix:/home/acelerathon_cima_grupo_3/chatbot-grupo-3/chatbot-cima/chatbot-cima-back/cima.sock;
    }
}

And then I checked for errors. 

sudo nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

So both services are OK, now when I access to http://localhost I see the Nginx Home Page, not my Flask app home page

I'm not sure why is not proxying

Add localhost to server_name directive in Nginx. Nginx use this directive to match server block for each request and in your case localhost doesn't match 127.0.0.1 so it's server by default server. May be this example will help to understand:

server {
        listen 127.0.0.1:80;
        server_name 127.0.0.1;
        return 200 "At 127.0.0.1\n";
}

server {
        listen 127.0.0.1:80;
        server_name localhost;
        return 200 "At localhost\n";
}

> curl -4 127.0.0.1:80
At 127.0.0.1
> curl -4 localhost:80
At localhost
