I am super new to linux environment, and trying to configure a vps server to only allow https requests. I have read nginx documentation and tried various rewrite and return statements, changing server blocks etc. But what I have achieved so far, site serves on http and https both with following config.
What I want to achieve is to configure this subdomain admin.example.com to serve only https requests.
I am editing the config at this location: /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
server {
listen 80;
server_name admin.example.com;
#return 301 https://admin.example.com$request_uri;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection keep-alive;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/admin.byrides.com/fullchain.pem; # man aged by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/admin.byrides.com/privkey.pem; # m anaged by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
You will need to setup two server directives, one for port 80 which will redirect the traffic to port 443.
