How do I automatically redirect http to https?

[sylvester-roos]

In my example, I have a Bitwarden vault located at example.duckdns.org. If I approach this by https://www.example.duckdns.org then everything is fine. However, I can also approach it by manually typing http://www.example.duckdns.org, which will bring me to the unsecured version of the website, which is not what I want. How do I automatically redirect the http request to https? I looked at the advanced tab and saw a variable called $forward_scheme, but I'm not quite proficient in Nginx yet.

Have you tried forcing ssl ?

I swear I clicked that button when generating the certificate, but double-checking shows it was disabled. Thanks a bunch, it did the trick!

@Pistrie How do you interact NPM with Bitwarden? The tutorial is rare in the internet.

Would you please demonstrate your installion strategy? Thanks!

[sylvester-roos]

I simply make http ip:port of the vaultwarden server available on a specific subdomain, just like any other service. I'm not sure where your confusion comes from.

@Pistrie Thanks, I had succeed!

In the begining, I built bitwarden and npm as a service in a special network, and I found it difficult to set up nginx setting. Afterwards, I just use my default npm to do proxy things, and it works perfect!

Here is the demo that show how I set bitwarden via NPM:

version: "2"

networks:
  net:
    name: bitwarden

services:
  app:
    image: vaultwarden/server:latest
    environment:
      - SERVER_ADMIN_EMAIL=example@gmail.com
      - SIGNUPS_ALLOWED=false
      - INVITATIONS_ALLOWED=true
      - WEBSOCKET_ENABLED=true
      - ADMIN_TOKEN=<unique token>
    volumes:
      - ./app:/data/
    ports:
      - 6539:80
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - net

just :

docker-compose up -d

Create a Proxy host, set DESTINATION as http://server.ip:6539. Get a bitwarden.exampledomain.com for https and ssl certificates. If you could not use http challege, please use DNS challege to get Let's Encrypt certificates.

Visit: http://server.ip:6539/admin or https://bitwarden.exampledomain.com , use ADMIN_TOKEN to enter the dashboard.

In General settings, set URL as http://server.ip:6539/admin.

Set SMTP Email Settings.

In the User section, send inviting email to a user.

Done!

May I ask, my http domain is not forwarded to https although I have ssl force enabled. both are reachable (https via letsencrypt) is forwarded to the http version but http is not sent to https...

[KajKunstheim]

I have the same issue. If I request a new certificate the force ssl option gets disabled and I have to enable it after the certificate is created.

[sanderlv]

My issue is different I believe. The fore ssl option is enable dan stays enabled. I just recently created the certs (3 days ago). Since I just started to use nginx manager.
