nginx - docker - problem with adding add worker_connections. nginx - directive is not allowed here

Hi
How to add worker_connections to my nginx config?

worker_processes 1;

events {
  worker_connections 10240; # increase if you have lots of clients
}
http {

  upstream my-app {
    server web-prod: 8000;
  }

  server {
    listen 80;
    server_name my-app.com;
    client_max_body_size 4G;

    access_log off;

    gzip on;
    gzip_min_length 10240;
    gzip_comp_level 1;
    gzip_vary on;
    gzip_proxied expired no-cache no-store private auth;
    gzip_types text/css text/javascript text/xml text/plain text/x-component application/javascript application/x-javascript application/json application/xml application/rss+xml application/atom+xml font/truetype font/opentype application/vnd.ms-fontobject image/svg+xml;

    # allow the server to close connection on non responding client, this will free up memory
    reset_timedout_connection on;

    # request timed out -- default 60
    client_body_timeout 10;

    # if client stop responding, free up memory -- default 60
    send_timeout 2;

    # server will close connection after this time -- default 75
    keepalive_timeout 30;

    # number of requests client can make over keep-alive -- for testing environment
    keepalive_requests 100000;

    location / {
      proxy_pass http://my-app;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_set_header Host $host;
      proxy_redirect off;
    }

    location /staticfiles/ {
      alias /usr/src/app/my-app/staticfiles/;
      expires 365d;
    }
    location /mediafiles/ {
      alias /home/app/web/mediafiles/;
    }
  }
}`

error nginx
nginx: [emerg] "worker_processes" directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/conf.d/nginx.conf:1

I guess there is a problem with my dockerfile and configuration nginx files. I tried many configurations and I am looking for a problem on many pages but I can't find a solution right now. I will be grateful for the tips
