Dual Purpose server

I installed Resilio on a new/clean Ubuntu 18.04 server by following these instructions.

    https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/install-resilio-sync-btsync-ubuntu-18-04-18-10

Because the server is in the cloud, I installed the reverse-proxy nginx proxy following the same instructions.

When I browse to the public hostname of the device it works quite well (even using https!).  It automatically appends /gui/ to the end of my URL. 

I would like to be able to browse to the same web server in a different directory to access regular html pages and use a subfolder for Resilio Sync.

Currently I browse to: https://fake.hostname.org and am redirected to https://fake.hostname.org/gui/ and the web uUI for Resilio Sync comes up.  I would like to browse to https://fake.hostname.org and get regular HTML pages in the regular nginx html folder ( /var/share/nginx/html/ ? ).  And I would like to browse to https://fake.hostname.org/resilio and get the Resilio Sync UI.  How do I go about doing this?

This would allow me to use the server as both a regular webserver and as Resilio Sync server.

Thanks!

Here is my current /etc/nginx/conf.d/resilio-sync.conf:

server {
  server_name fake.hostname.org;

  access_log /var/log/nginx/resilio_access.log;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/resilio_error.log;
  location / {
     proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888;
     proxy_set_header Host $host;
     proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
     proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  }

    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/fake.hostname.org/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/fake.hostname.org/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot


    add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000" always; # managed by Certbot

    ssl_stapling on; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_stapling_verify on; # managed by Certbot

}
server {
    if ($host = fake.hostname.org) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot


  listen 80;
  server_name fake.hostname.org;

  access_log /var/log/nginx/resilio_access.log;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/resilio_error.log;
  location / {
     proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888;
     proxy_set_header Host $host;
     proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
     proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  }
}
