NGINX: Is it possible to have two different SSLs pointing to the exact same webroot?

Bobby, thanks for this. I really appreciate you taking the time to make a reply.

It’s a relief to know that this is something NGINX can handle. I will give this a try and report back.

Hello,

Yes, this should not be a problem. You would just need to separate Nginx server blocks for the two domain names and their SSL certificates.

Here’s how you could create a server block:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-nginx-on-ubuntu-18-04#step-5-setting-up-server-blocks-(recommended)

So it would look something like this:

    server {
            charset UTF-8;
            listen 443 ssl http2;
            server_name website1.com www.website1.com;
            root /var/www/html/;
            ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/website1.com/fullchain.pem;
            ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/website1.com/privkey.pem;
            ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/website1.com/chain.pem;
            include snippets/ssl.conf;
            include snippets/letsencrypt.conf;
 ...
    }

Then you need a second one with the same for website2.com pointing to the same document root: root /var/www/html/data/;.

Note: you need to adjust the path to the SSL certificate and you need to add any extra rules that you have to the new server blocks.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
