How to redirect to a different domain using NGINX?

Question

How can I redirect mydomain.com and any subdomain *.mydomain.com to www.adifferentdomain.com using NGINX?

Answer 1

If you would like to redirect requests for "domain1.com" to "domain2.com", you could create a server block that looks like this:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name domain1.com;
    return 301 $scheme://domain2.com$request_uri;
}
