How to configure HTTPS on NGINX server EC2 AWS
Below is a code block that you can use to configure NGINX for HTTPS
server {
# listen to port 80
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
# respond only from these IP addresss / domain names
server_name www.oklogical.com oklogical.com;
# do a permanent redirect with http code 301 to https
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
server {
# listen to 443
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name www.oklogical.com oklogical.com;
# provide the ssl certificate path generated by certbot/letsencrypt
# /etc/letsencrypt/live/speechwithai.com/fullchain.pem;
# something like this
# must provide a path where your certiifcates are stored
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/itsoktobelogical.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/itsoktobelogical.com/privkey.pem;
#### rest all is default setting, do not change.
