It's the same image, so it doesn't really matter - it's in the standard
place.

I would note given this and your other question - are you trying to split
apart what's in the containers and do something with it?

That's not something we really support upstream - if you want a cluster of
AWX, deploy it in kubernetes or OpenShift.

It’s in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf in the awx container AWX. The ports vary in the container and on the host machine. You can get the mapping of ports from container to host using docker ps command under ports column.
