Nginx redirect to HTTPS
Redirect all traffic to https in nginx
Overview
If you have enabled https, have a public IP and want to redirect all traffic from http to https you can change the “/ location {}” section in nginx.conf to the following.
location / {
rewrite ^ https://$host$request_uri? permanent;
}
If your webserver is located behind a proxy, loadbalancer or WAF (that sends x-forwarded headers) you can simply use the below snippet instead.
if ($http_x_forwarded_proto != "https") {
rewrite ^ https://$host$request_uri? permanent;
}
