Redirecting non-www to www with Nginx on Ubuntu
I prefer to make my website to www rather than non-www. To set it up is really easy. My server use Ubuntu and Nginx and running Let's Encrypt SSL.
I make a server block that handles redirection request. And then other server block to handle the real request.
Here is my config file:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
listen 443 ssl;
server_name waysquare.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/waysquare.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/waysquare.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
return 301 $scheme://www.$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name www.waysquare.com;
root /var/www/waysquare.com/html/system/nginx-root;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2368;
}
location /shell {
proxy_pass https://www.waysquare.com:6116;
}
location ~ /.well-known {
allow all;
}
client_max_body_size 50m;
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/waysquare.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/waysquare.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
if ($scheme != "https") {
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
# Redirect non-https traffic to https
# if ($scheme != "https") {
# return 301 https://www.$host$request_uri;
# } # managed by Certbot
}
Then you can test it with this command:
curl -I http://waysquare.com
Below is the result. My site will be redirected to https://www.waysquare.com
curl -I http://waysquare.com
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: nginx/1.10.3 (Ubuntu)
