Nginx: route to index.php within alias for specific path component

You're pretty close. But you need to match the trailing / characters for location and its corresponding alias.

You also need to add a try_files in that block to refer to the correct index.php, which is probably /api/index.php.

    location /api/ {
        alias /home/user/api/public/;
        try_files $uri /api/index.php;
