I am try to redirect anything going to port 80 and 8080 to 443 (https) using nginx. This is for a Jenkins server. I am using ubuntu. This is the nginx config I have at the moment:
server {
listen 80;
server_name jenkins.mydomain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_redirect http://localhost:8080 https://jenkins.mydomain.com;
}
return 301 https://jenkins.mydomain.com$request_uri;
}
server {
listen [::]:443 ssl ipv6only=on;
listen 443 ssl;
server_name jenkins.mydomain.com;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /path/to/wildcard.mydomain.com.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /path/to/wildcard.mydomain.com.key;
location / {
add_header Cache-Control private;
expires epoch;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
proxy_ssl_server_name on;
include /etc/nginx/proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
proxy_read_timeout 90s;
proxy_redirect http://localhost:8080 https://jenkins.mydomain.com;
}
}
As you can see I tried adding the proxy related headers to the port 80 server block but that is not working. When I go to http://jenkins.mydomain.com or http://jenkins.mydomain.com:8080 it does not redirect to https://jenkins.mydomain.com. How do I redirect anything going to port 80 and 8080 to 443?

I am using this config, maybe from any documentation page and it is working for years without any problem. It should be probably better but for my internal usage is it enough.
