Error : nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "listen:" in /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf, when mounting local default to nginx via docker compose

Getting error when mounting the default.conf to /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro returns error as unknown directive

docker-compose.yml

version: "3"
services:
  nginx:
    image: nginx:stable-alpine
    ports:
        - "3000:80"
    volumes:
      - ./nginx/default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro
  node-app:
    environment:
      - PORT=3000
    depends_on:
      - mongo
  mongo:
    image: mongo
    environment:
      - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=admin
      - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=admin
    volumes:
      - mongo-db:/data/db
  redis:
    image: redis
volumes:
  mongo-db:

default.conf

server {
    listen: 80;

    location /api {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
        proxy_pass http://node-app:3000;
        proxy_redirect off;
    }
}

Remove the : behind location. This is simply a configuration "syntax" error. Try this:

server {
    #listen: 80;
    listen 80;
    location /api/ {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-NGINX-Proxy true;
        proxy_pass http://node-app:3000;
        proxy_redirect off;
    }
}
