First of all, your html file hasn’t got anything to do with nginx. This is the webpage file you provide to your clients online. So what do you mean? What would you like to change? You can ofcourse change your html file in some sort of php file…

You can change your 404 page in the vhost of nginx. So that would be in /etc/nginx/sites-available/<web>.vhost
