How to remove Index of / from search engine results? – SEO

The problem

I have a website developed with NextJS, it is running on a server with Nginx. The website files are inside the public_html folder and running on port 3004, and i have a proxy_pass that redirect the requests to the NextJS website on port 3004.

But when I search for my domain or my site on google, it shows up in the results: Index of / (and the files inside)

I would like to remove this (and all the listing of files inside) to just put Home – Domain, for example.

    You can turn off the feature of nginx where it creates directory listings:

    autoindex off;

    If you want to replace "index if /" with an actual home page, you would need to create an index.html file in document root directory.

    You should also add as a last location in your conf

    location ~ /. {
    deny all;
}

    to block file access to dot files .env file or other sensitive data
