      location / {
          try_files  $uri/index.html  $uri.html  $uri  @thin;
      }

      location /folder/ {
          root  ...
      }

      location @thin {
          proxy_pass http://thin;
          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;
      }
