[bug] Default nginx config in docs gives lots of no live upstreams while connecting to upstream errors

I was seeing lots of these on goblin.technology:

2022/12/14 13:16:29 [error] 1829#1829: *451 no live upstreams while connecting to upstream, client: REDACTED, server: goblin.technology, request: "GET /api/v1/streaming?stream=user&access_token=REDACTED HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://localhost/api/v1/streaming?stream=user&access_token=REDACTED", host: "goblin.technology"

Turns out it's some nginx weirdness; doing the change described here fixed the issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49767001/how-to-solve-nginx-no-live-upstreams-while-connecting-to-upstream-client#52550758

Just opening this to help others, I'll make a PR immediately to update our docs.

this is happening after #1099?
does GoToSocial default to IPv4?
or does go?

I only changed the documentation there. What did you set the bind address to in your GoToSocial config?
