acme challenge deleted before verification

[Meidan]

all my verification calls return a 404, so I started looking into the container wwwroot and I saw that the acme challenge is created under /usr/share/nginx/html/.well-known/acme-challenge/ but it is removed before the verification call on it is made. Is this some configuration? I'm not overriding any defaults.

error I get is:
