How to redirect on the same port from http to https with nginx reverse proxy

Found something that is working well :

server {        listen 8001  ssl;        ssl_certificate /home/xxx/server.crt;        ssl_certificate_key /home/xxx/server.key;        error_page 497 301 =307 https://$host:$server_port$request_uri;        location /{            proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;            proxy_redirect off;            proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl on;        }}

Are you sure your solution is working? It is listening for 8001 ssl. Will it accept http request?

I do it this way:

server {    listen   80;    server_name  yourhostname.com;    location / {            rewrite ^(.*) https://yourhostname.com:8001$1 permanent;    }}

Then goes your config:

server {    listen 8001  ssl;    ssl_certificate /home/xxx/server.crt;    ssl_certificate_key /home/xxx/server.key;    location / {        proxy_pass https://localhost:8000;        proxy_redirect off;        proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl on;        proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-Proto  https;    }}

This worked for me:

server {listen       80;server_name  localhost;...if ($http_x_forwarded_proto = "http") {      return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;}location / {    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;    proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;}...}
