My css and javascript files not running - laravel

Question

I installed Nginx server for my laravel project. But css and javascript file not working. Css and javascript file downloadable on server. For example http://myipaddress/css/bootstrap.css download the bootstrap.css file. I call the css file like <link href="{{ URL::asset('css/bootstrap.css') }}" rel="stylesheet"> like this.
My source code
My public folder permissions
/etc/nginx/sites-available/default looks like the following
# Default server configuration
#
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
# SSL configuration
#
listen 443 ssl default_server;
listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;
#
# Note: You should disable gzip for SSL traffic.
# See: https://bugs.debian.org/773332

# Read up on ssl_ciphers to ensure a secure configuration.

Have you seen the movie Hidden Figures? There's a scene where a main character can see censored information by holding up redacted papers to a lamp. The relevance you may ask? Your censoring in the question wasn't very hard circumvent.
When I visit your server and check the Console I get ...
The stylesheet http://###/css/bootstrap.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "application/octet-stream", is not "text/css".
The stylesheet http://###/css/font-awesome.min.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "application/octet-stream", is not "text/css".
The stylesheet http://###/css/style.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "application/octet-stream", is not "text/css".
Fix the mime-types of the stylesheets and they should load properly. I would start looking in /etc/nginx/mime.types and verify that you've mapped the css extension to text/css.

I dont know homestead and I would have posted this as comment but I don't have enough rep for that but maybe changing also the user ownership to www-data would work?
sudo chown www-data:www-data -R projectfolder
Then if it works you may have to change ownership for the storage folder if you are allowing file uploads.
