so I have multiple domains with multiple let's encrypt ssl certificates (one per domain) which all point to the same app (upstream). Currently I am using the code below. However it is quite a lot of code, especially if I have to replicated it for every domain. So I am wondering if there is a way to combine it so that I have much of the code only once, which would make it much easier to maintain.
The redirect for https://www.any-domain-here
is problematic, as well as the last, main, server block, as both require the ssl certificate and I will need to include those for all different domains. So is there a way to do this without duplicating those code blocks?

I solved this by creating quite a couple of include files.
I have the following default.conf
now:
# don't redirect proxy
proxy_redirect off;
# turn off global logging
access_log off;
# DON'T enable gzip as it opens up vulnerabilities
# logging format
log_format compression '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] '
'"$request" $status $bytes_sent '
'"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" "$gzip_ratio"';

My nginx-server.conf
has the following content:

}
##########################
# HTTPS
include /etc/nginx/includes/domains/*.conf;
The last line includes all my domain files, one e.g. is veare.de.conf
they are all named exactly like the domain:
############################
#
# Redirect all www to non-www
#
#
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name www.veare.de;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.veare.de/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.veare.de/privkey.pem;
return 301 https://veare.de$request_uri;
}
##########################
# HTTPS
server {
server_name veare.de;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/veare.de/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/veare.de/privkey.pem;
location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge {
allow all;
# Set correct content type. According to this:
# https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/using-the-webroot-domain-verification-method/1445/29
# Current specification requires "text/plain" or no content header at all.
# It seems that "text/plain" is a safe option.
default_type "text/plain";
root /var/www/html;
}
include /etc/nginx/includes/main-server.conf;
}
This works perfectly for me.
