How to port NGINX config from IIS-CodePudding

I have a front controller setup on IIS which I need to convert to NGINX on Docker.

Basically on IIS I have a virtual directory /we which maps to the application code at /var/app/we. When file is requested, if its not found, it is rewritten to /we/index.cfm?path_info=/{R:0}.

E.g. if a user requests http://example.com/sub1/test.cfm it is rewritten as http://example.com/index.cfm?path_info=/sub1/test.cfm.

I have tried various things like setting up a virtual directory alias in NGINX like this

location /we {
    alias /var/app/we;
}

and then adding a rewrite rule but I just can't get it to work. Can someone please help?

The rule on IIS which I'm trying to convert is below:

 <rule name="Redirect the File" enabled="true">
      <match url="^(.*)$" />
       <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
              <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
              <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="^/(flex2gateway|jrunscripts|cfide|cfformgateway|railo-context|files|images|javascripts|miscellaneous|stylesheets|rewrite.cfm|index.cfm)" negate="true" />
       </conditions>
       <action type="Rewrite" url="/we/index.cfm?path_info=/{R:0}" appendQueryString="true" />
 </rule>
