Your static file regex doesn’t include .tar file.

index index.html index.htm index.php;
}
}

}

i am sorry, i means i want :

if file exists on frontend server, then output it, don’t through
backend. not only tar file.

and make these uri for diffrent cache time:
/post/name/ cache 30 days
/list/name/ cache 1 day
/index.html cache 1 hour
other cache 10 minutes

how can i do this?

The try_files directive should be useful for this task.
Take a look: Module ngx_http_core_module
