Little help request

[GosthMan]

Hello,
I'm not sure where i could ask my question so i decide to put it here.
I'm using this module and is working well but i don't know how to set the following nginx optionunder / :
if ($http_x_forwarded_proto != 'https') {
rewrite ^ https://$host$request_uri? permanent;
}
Can anyone tell me how i set the exacly in the puppet config so it would look the same in the nginx vhost config
Thank you in advance

Hello,

according to the site Pitfalls and Common Mistakes, you should use return 301 ... instead of rewrite ... permanent.

Unfortunately many of the parameters are not documented very well, but if you take a look at manifests/resource/vhost.pp you will find the parameter rewrite_to_https.

For example this code

class { 'nginx': }

nginx::resource::vhost { 'www.puppetlabs.com':
  www_root         => '/var/www/www.puppetlabs.com',
  rewrite_to_https => true,
}

will generate the following config.

server {
  listen *:80;
  server_name           www.puppetlabs.com;

  if ($ssl_protocol = "") {
       return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
  }
  index  index.html index.htm index.php;

  access_log            /var/log/nginx/www.puppetlabs.com.access.log combined;
  error_log             /var/log/nginx/www.puppetlabs.com.error.log;

  location / {
    root      /var/www/www.puppetlabs.com;
    index     index.html index.htm index.php;
  }
}
