[Geoserver-users] Geoserver behind Nginx server (HTTP/HTTPS)

GeoServer GeoServer User

Hi there,

I am here to seek advice.

I have a Ubuntu 20.04 virtual host running Geoserver 20.0.0. Some static/HTML files, behind the Nginx server, connect to geoserver (http://localhost:my_port) to serve WMS data. All this works fine.

Using Let’sEncrypt, I aim to add SSL encryption to my virtual server’s Nginx (default) block, enabling redirecting to HTTP. Once this is done (server: https://my_domain:my_port), do I need to modify underlying geoserver services/configuration? or Nginx redirecting to HTTP will be sufficient?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Jibran

Hi Jibran

Please take a look at the GeoServer documentation https://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/configuration/globalsettings.html#proxy-base-url

This will be the HTTPS Nginx URL that you will configure in here and then the GetCapabilities call will embed it correctly in its response.

Regards

Peter
