Hi there @pa3k,
From the first image, I can see that you have Apache installed as well. Note that you can have only one service listening on the same port. So it is not possible to have Apache and Nginx running on the same ports.
What you need to do is stop and remove Apache completely and only run Nginx.
For more information on how to troubleshoot common Nginx problems, I could suggest going through this answer here:

Hi @pa3k,
in case you haven’t found a working solution yet, I suggest you try out the 1-click Moodle installation from DO Marketplace!
We’re maintaining it up-to-date with the latest Moodle version and support it all the way through.
