How can I make my nextjs with Express site work on ssl

问题

We have a site running on Next.js and Express. This is on a cPanel server with Aapche and together with nginx serving as reverse proxy.

I need to have ssl on the site. But I am quite confuused with how the configurations should be.

My server.js :

const express = require('express')
const next = require('next')
const https = require('https');
const fs = require('fs');
//const forceSSL = require('express-force-ssl')

var ssl_options = {
 key: fs.readFileSync('/home/myreactsite.key'),
 cert: fs.readFileSync('/home/myreactsite.crt'),
};

const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'
const app = next({ dev })
const handle = app.getRequestHandler()

const favicon = require('serve-favicon')
const path = require('path')

app.prepare()
.then(() => {
 const server = express()
 server.use(favicon(path.join(__dirname, 'static', 'images', 'favicon.ico')))

 server.get('*', (req, res) => {
  return handle(req, res)
})

server.listen(3007, (err) => {
   if (err) throw err
   console.log('> Ready on http://localhost:3007')
 })

var httpsServer = https.createServer(ssl_options,server).listen('8445', (err) => {
  if (err) throw err
  console.log('> Ready on https://localhost:8445')
})
})
.catch((ex) => {
 console.error(ex.stack)
 process.exit(1)
})

Apache runs on 8080 Nginx runs on 80 Next.js runs on both 3007 and 8445(I prefer it for ssl)

My Apache config contains the following to hide the port 3007

<Proxy *>
   Order deny,allow
   Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://myreactsite.com:3007/

The site works fine if I access it as http://myreactsite.com . But it fails when I access https://myreactsite.com though I can access https version by specifying the port number as https://myreactsite.com:8445

I want to make it work without specifying the https port.

How can I get my site to force all pages to https without specifying the port?

You probably want to use Apache for all the SSL handling and listen to the 443 port, then proxy to your 3007 port. Try this config:

<VirtualHost *:443>
  ProxyPreserveHost On
  ProxyRequests Off
  ServerName myreactsite.com
  ServerAlias myreactsite.com
  ProxyPass / http://0.0.0.0:3007/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://0.0.0.0:3007/
  SSLEngine On
  SSLProxyEngine On
  SSLCertificateFile /home/myreactsite.crt
  SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/myreactsite.key
</VirtualHost>

To redirect all HTTP traffic then:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName myreactsite.com
  Redirect / https://myreactsite.com/  
</VirtualHost>

Based on @fabian comment, I am posting my working configurations if it helps someone...

Added the following lines in the 443 virtual host section for the site in apache.conf :

ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://example.com:3000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://example.com:3000/
SSLProxyEngine On
#To redirect to https and www version
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Also, added the following line in the nginx vhost file for the site :

server {
  ...
  ...
#To redirect all http requests to https+www
return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
  ...
  ...
}
