That would conflict with the '/' location of ports 80 and 443.  I was
rather thinking about using port 8081 for Cuirass.  In that case the
'server' block would be needed in berlin.conf.  We would also remove

    # Cuirass.
    location /specifications { proxy_pass http://localhost:8081; }
    location /jobsets { proxy_pass http://localhost:8081; }
    location /build { proxy_pass http://localhost:8081; }
    location /api { proxy_pass http://localhost:8081; }

from berlin-locations.conf.

Otherwise we need to think about what routes go to Cuirass and what
routes go to Guix publish.  Alternatively, we could use another domain
name with ports 80 and 443, but it's more work.

WDYT?
