Forward HTTP to HTTPS

Post by beejee78 »

I've created a HTTPS certificate with letsencrypt for my domain now and it's working good when i connect to https://<my-domain>

But i always have to type https:// in front of my domain name. Is it possible to redirect to https automatically.
I searched everywhere but can't find an answer.

Thanx in advance!

BTW: Domoticz is running on an RPI.

Thanx!
Is all this not possible with the build-in webserver from Domoticz itself?

Another option would be to add "HTTP Strict Transport Security" (HSTS) header to your web server.

With this header set, if you type http://domain in your address bar, your browser will automatically switch to https://domain, without even trying to contact the http://domain server.

Sounds good. Is this possible in Domoticz?

What you want to do could be done with NGINX as a proxy

Okay, I think I need NGINX at least. I will look at it, thank you!
