Trying to redirect http to https

I wanted to open a new issue other than #521 since my specific setup might be different and unable to be answered in the same manner

I have an aws application load balancer setup which works fine but I need mup to route http to https, I tried using force-ssl package but it doesn’t seem to work. I wonder if it’s because it’s a non-standard port that I am using (because I have multiple apps running sharing a database)

I think there is a nginx rewrite or redirect rule that could be added with an option to the mup.js file redirectSSL: true so that during creation of the nginx docker instance, it would automatically start rerouting.

My mup.js is below

module.exports = {
  servers: {
    one: {
      host: "35.162.xxx.xxx",
      username: 'ubuntu',
      // pem:
      // password:
      // or leave blank for authenticate from ssh-agent
    },
  },
  meteor: {
    name: 'dashboard',
    path: '/Users/avi/Code/dashboard',
    ssl: {
      crt: './server.crt',
      key: './server.key',
      port: 8443,
    },
    servers: {
      one: {}
    },
    buildOptions: {
      serverOnly: true,
      debug: true,
    },
    deployCheckWaitTime: 220,
    docker: {
      image: 'abernix/meteord:base',
      args: [
        '--link=mongodb:mongodb'
      ],
    },
    env: {
      ROOT_URL: 'http://35.162.xxx.xxx',
      MONGO_URL: 'mongodb://mongodb:27017/staging-app-bnog',
      PORT: 8000,
      DEPLOY_TYPE: 'staging'
    },
  },
};

Mup 1.3 will be able to redirect http to https.

After hours trying to configure nginx proxy I find that there i a simple option in start.sh (on your server you can find it at /opt/YOUR_APP_NAME/config/start.sh ) HTTPS_METHOD=noredirect so just change it to HTTPS_METHOD=redirect and http will be redirected to https It should be possible to add a simple option to allow the user to define what method he want on the mup.js config file.
