Redirecting www traffic to non www with ubuntu and nginx

Find your nginx config file and open it with your favorite editor(VIM for sure).

$vim /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/nameofyourdomain

then add the following snippet before the existing server block.

server { server_name www.yourdomain.com; return 301 $scheme://yourdomain.com$request_uri; }

Then restart nginx

$ sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart`

You can test if it's working right

$ curl -I http://www.yourdomain.com`

You should now get a 301 Moved Permanently response that shows the non-www redirect location, like this:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu)
Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2020 17:01:43 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 194
Connection: keep-alive
Location: http://yourdomain.com/
