My question is similar to https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/what-exactly-is-server_name-in-nginx-configuration-file But I want to make sure that I have the correct information. Here’s my scenario:

I’m running a Bitnami Mattermost virtual machine. If I access it via my LAN, it redirects to the IP Address (10.214.240.38) regardless of whether I put that in or its hostname (ac0ec-mattermost.local.mesh). To further complicate things, I want to access it from outside my network with example.com (not really, but you get the drift). But when I go to my domain, it tries to redirect me to 10.214.240.38 and fails.

Currently my configuration file has this:

server {
    listen  80 default_server;
    server_name 10.214.240.38;
    return  302 https://$server_name:443$return_uri;
}

Do I simply change that to

server {
    listen  80 default_server;
    server_name 10.214.240.38 ac0ec-mattermost.local.mesh exmaple.com;
    return  302 https://$server_name:443$return_uri;
}

or would it be something like

server {
    listen  80 default_server;
    server_name 10.214.240.38 ac0ec-mattermost example.com;
    return  302 https://$server_name:443$return_uri;
}

?

If it’s something completely different, I would appreciate the correct configuration (including if I have to create additional entries under the https section).

Thanks, and have a great evening. :)

Edited to add this:

Here is the relevant portion of my mattermost.conf file (which Nginx loads) with the changes that I think would work.

upstream backend {
    server 127.0.0.1:8065;
}

server {
   listen         80 default_server;
    server_name    10.214.240.38 ac0ec-mattermost.local.mesh example.com;
   return         302 https://$server_name:443$request_uri;
}
