Nginx in Docker cannot find the file

I'm running Nginx inside Docker and from logs, I can see that Nginx cannot find mime.types file. The line from Nginx.conf:

include      mime.types;

Here is the Dockerfile.

FROM nginx:alpine
COPY . ./etc/nginx
RUN ls -la /etc/nginx

Here is the list of files in the working directory:

drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          4096 Jul 30 07:35 .
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          4096 Jul 30 07:35 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            58 Jul 29 21:48 Dockerfile
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root          4096 Jul 29 21:36 certs
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root          4096 Jul  6 19:40 conf.d
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          1077 Jul  6 15:21 fastcgi.conf
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          1007 Jul  6 15:21 fastcgi_params
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          5290 Jul  6 15:21 mime.types
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            22 Jul  6 19:40 modules -> /usr/lib/nginx/modules
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         10729 Jul 30 07:35 nginx.conf
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           636 Jul  6 15:21 scgi_params
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           664 Jul  6 15:21 uwsgi_params

And this is the error log:

2021/07/30 07:35:34 [emerg] 1#1: open() "/etc/nginx/mime.types" failed (2: No such file or directory) in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:52

I can clearly see that nginx.conf is in the same directory but couldn't be found.

Docker compose

    build: nginx

As you say in the comment, you map a directory to /etc/nginx when you run the container.

When you map ./nginx:/etc/nginx, the volume mapping wins and 'hides' the files in the image.
