Can anyone help me set-up the non- www to www redirection?
I 've tried Several tutorials here and not works, my nginx is:
server { listen 80;
server_name mydomain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass MY_IP_SERVER:8080;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}

The recommended way to do this is:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.org;
return 301 http://www.example.org$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.example.org;
location / {
proxy_pass MY_IP_SERVER:8080;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
Replace example.org with your domain name.
And if anyone needs it, we’ve built a docker image to do just the non-www-to-www-redirect: https://hub.docker.com/r/webhare/www-redirector/
