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.comBelow is the result. My site will be redirected to https://www.waysquare.com
