How to set up Nginx HTTP to HTTPS redirection (Default settings)

In case You decide to use this example, place the two config files separately inside /etc/nginx/sites-available and create a symlink for them inside /etc/nginx/sites-enabled (please temporarily remove symlink for your previous configs inside /etc/nginx/sites-enabled . No need to remove them completely)

1. First file name "Default"

1. server {

2. listen 80 default_server;

3. listen [::]:80 default_server;

4. server_name Your_server_address.com

5. return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

6. location /{

7. proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;

8. proxy_http_version 1.1;

9. proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;

10. proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

11. proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

12. proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;

13. }

14. }

2. Second file name "https.conf"

1. # HTTPS Server

2. server {

3. listen 443 ssl;

4. server_name Your_server_address.com;

6. # You can increase the limit if your need to.

7. client_max_body_size 200M;

9. error_log /var/log/nginx/rocketchat.access.log;

11. ssl_certificate your full cheined certificate location

12. ssl_certificate_key your SSL certificate key location

13. ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; # dont use SSLv3 ref: POODLE

15. location / {

16. proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;

17. proxy_http_version 1.1;

18. proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;

19. proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
