You need to parse each access log.

goaccess /var/log/nginx/access.log /var/log/nginx/access.log.1 ...

zcat /var/log/nginx/access.log.*.gz | goaccess access.log -

Solved! It just needs to set the right path to access.log. It should be /var/log/nginx/access.log. There are other log files in /var/log/nginx/, how about those log files? Is it already included in report.html?

how can this be solved in docker? because i'm getting the same error.

i have created /srv/goaccess/logs/access.log
and i mounted the folder in the docker command like this -v "/srv/goaccess/logs:/srv/logs"

Error

Oops forgot to update my post, everything ran smoothly. I skimmed through some closed issues back then and solved my problem, Documentation lacks a lot of information. But all good now. Thanks!
