Chapter 03: Configuring Nginx to Serve Your First Site Over HTTPS

In this chapter we’ll discuss HTTPS and why it’s so important before updating our DNS and obtaining our first SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt. Then we’ll add a new config file to Nginx for our first site complete with a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. Next we’ll create a database for the site and we’ll use WP-CLI to install WordPress. We’ll wrap up with a discussion about creating more sites on the server.
