The ping function on Shiny Server (non-Pro) fails when setting `app_dir`

General

I'm configuring a shiny server. I want the server to serve only a single application & am not interested in an index page. I also want my application load balancer to obtain responses to health checks from the server.

If I setup the server like this; then I will receive OK to the health checks but I have to add /my-app-path to the URL to reach the app:

server {
  listen 3838;
  location / {
    site_dir /srv/shiny-server;
    log_dir /var/log/shiny-server;
    directory_index off;
  }
}

If I setup in the following way, I don't need to add my app-name to the end of the URL to reach the application; however, the health checks fail:

server {
  listen 3838;
  location / {
    app_dir /srv/shiny-server/my-app-path;
    log_dir /var/log/shiny-server;
    directory_index off;
  }
}

Is there a way to achieve both goals? For some reason it seems that either changing site_dir to app_dir or adding the directory name for the app after app_dir /srv/shiny-server/ causes the ping to no longer work.
