    Hmm , when I replace this:

    http {
  server {
    listen 80;
    server_name lemmy.world;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://lemmy-ui:1234;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
    }
}

    with this:

    http {
  server {
    listen 80;
    server_name lemmy.world;

    location / {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }
}

    it breaks, gives 502 when visiting the site…

    ideas? (I’m not that much into nginx…)

      You could try this

      this config snippet is assuming thet you’ve already got the TLS cert/pem file for lemmy.world elsewhere in your nginx.config

      http {
  server {
    listen 80;
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name lemmy.world;

    if ($scheme = "http") {
        return 307 https://$host$request_uri;
    }

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://lemmy-ui:1234;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
    }
}

      If you get redirected to lemmy.world:1234, then add absolute_redirect off; in the ‘server’ block

      Last thing - 307 is a temporary redirect, you might to change it to a permanent one once you’ve confirmed it’s working as intended

      Can we get an error log? If no, are you seeing any timeouts in there?

      You might want to add the secure port (:443) in your redirect. Otherwise it might be trying to load https on port 80 still, which can’t work.

      • http: port 80
      • https: port 443

      Notes:

      • just a guess. I haven’t looked at an nginx config in a while
      • make sure to try on multiple browsers as they all don’t behave the same way

        This piece I’ve pasted above isn’t the whole nginx.conf, there’s also a large block for the 443 traffic. It’s just the http traffic that I need to redirect to 443.

        Oooh I thought it was a backend thing, cause my NGINX has a force SSL option. I guess it can be done from either end.
