Sub domain trickery

Server NGINX
1

Not sure if this is possible, but I am wanting to make subdomains be
redirected to specific folders dynamically via the nginx.conf file. so
my DNS would point *.domain.com to the server. and depending on what the
person typed in for the subdomain, for example folder1.domain.com it
would point them to ~/public_html/folder1 for the site files.
folder2.domain.com >> site files in ~/public_html/folder2.

So if the folder exists, it goes there otherwise, goes 404.

Is this possible to pull off dynamically?

Thanks for thoughts on this.

Something like this should work:

server {
server_name ~^(?).example.com$;
root /path/to/public_html/$domain;
}
