Redirect nginx

How to redirect traffic in nginx

Overview

If you want to make sure all traffic only uses your preferred domain name you can create a new server {} block that redirects to the preferred domain name.

Edit nginx.conf

On your nginx node select config and edit the nginx.conf file. In this example we’ll redirect my-site.jelastic.elastx.net to https://my-domain.tld

server {
    server_name my-site.jelastic.elastx.net;
    listen 80 default_server;
    return 301 https://my-domain.tld/$request_uri;
}
