...for /dokuwiki/data/, but not for /dokuwiki/something/data/ -- the
difference may not matter here.

"perldoc perlre". The short version is: capture.

The specific url you tried was

http://mydyndnsdom.org/dokuwiki/lib/tpl/default/images/button-dw.png

HTTP 444 is not a standard return code. It is used within nginx as a
"just close the connection" signal. The config you have shown does not
include 444 anywhere that I can see.

/dokuwiki/lib/tpl/default/images/button-dw.png does not match this
location, and so this config will not be used.

Also, it looks like you are using http://mydyndnsdom.org/install.php,
not http://mydyndnsdom.org/dokuwiki/install.php, as the starting point. Is
that expected?

According to the config you posted,
/dokuwiki/lib/tpl/default/images/button-dw.png should return the content
of the file /var/www/dokuwiki/lib/tpl/default/images/button-dw.png or
else 404.

That is the one that will match this one request.

I don't see how the config you posted can lead to the access log you
posted. Maybe someone else will have better luck. Maybe enabling the
debug log will give more hints to where the problem it.

Probably not. At that point it that report, they are talking about
"xsendfile" and are learning that nginx is not the same as apache.

It's not directly related to what you are reporting.

All the best,
