I have been looking but I am unable to find a solution. I have set up SSL certificates for my domain and the http traffic redirects to https. What I would like is https://www.example.com to redirect to https://example.com.
Any help would be appreciated.

You could achieve that with a configuration similar to below. In this case the final destination is passed to a back-end server.
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
return 301 https://example.com/$request_uri;
}
location ~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {

root /usr/share/nginx/html;
allow all;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.example.com;
location / {
return 301 https://example.com/$request_uri;
