Force HTTPS redirection with NGINX

Modify the /opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server_blocks/APPNAME-server-block.conf file so that it looks like the example below. In the path above and the code example below, APPNAME is a placeholder which corresponds to the Bitnami application name. Replace this placeholder with the correct filename or path corresponding to the Bitnami application.

  server {
      listen 80 default_server;
      root /opt/bitnami/APPNAME;
      return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
  }

Modify the server section of the /opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/nginx.conf file so that it looks like this:

  server {
        listen 80;
        server_name localhost;
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }

After modifying the NGINX configuration file, open port 443 in the server firewall. Refer to the FAQ for more information.

Restart NGINX to apply the changes.
