I’m using docker-compose to deploy my containers _mostly_ using `abc.example.com` where `abc` represents the container.

This works well for the most part. However, if I browse to `example.com` or `unknown.example.com` I’m getting a generic 404 white screen. How can I “fix” this to show something a bit more graceful?
