Hey Jovani,

After you installed SSL completely, you follow simple steps to redirect from http to htpps with nginx
The first, find the file nginx.conf or you can edit file in folder /etc/nginx/conf.d/

rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;

Finally, you will have file with content as following:

server {
server_name www.yourdomain.com;
rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}

Restart Nginx

service nginx restart

Hope it helps!
