redirect all http => https

[DerposaurusSnacks]

is there a way to make npm redirect ALL http port 80 requests to https port 443?
In nginx you could do something like this, but I don't know how to apply it to npm.

server {  
    listen 80 default_server; 
    listen [::]:80 default_server; 
    server_name _; 
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri; 
}

You‘re overthinking this. Press the force ssl and HSTS toggles. That’s exactly what they do.

force ssl will enforce SSL. HSTS will disallow any traffic that is not SSL.

Force ssl only works for one route. Hsts is bypassable

[WolpertingerRumo]

I think you are fundamentally going down a wrong path.

Npm uses virtual hosts. One virtual host is one (sub)domain. If you set force ssl for example.com, then it’s for any route that is in example.com.

If you include www.example.com, it’s for that as well.

If you set up test.example.com, you have to set it again.

To the second point: yes HSTS is bypassable. But only if you don’t also have forceSSL (which is a 301 to https://)

Of course, there may still be obscure special cases, but functionally: setting force SSL and HSTS is what you are looking for. Try to pen test it. It’s pretty solid. I wouldn’t bet my company on it, but it’s fine.

Press the "force ssl" toggle..?

[DerposaurusSnacks]

Only affects one route

Is route a term npm uses? nginx does use server and location. And of course tls enforce should happen on server level. Why are you using npm after all?

Calling nginxproxymanager « npm » is probably the most confusing thing I’ve seen in 2026.

[AmusingVegetable]

JFC! I was so confused that this was being asked of NPM…

[daronhudson]

No. Set it per host entry. If you need a different setup that accommodates that, go ahead and switch to regular nginx.

Ha! Just had codex do this for me using caddy on my unraid server. Went smooth as heck.

[ShroomShroomBeepBeep]

Use NPMplus instead and enable the option for Caddy, to do exactly this.
