with the default attrbiutes set nexus/nginx will not work

[ramonskie]

this nexus cookbook will not work out of the box due to the following settings

default[:nexus][:context_path]                                 = '/nexus'
default[:nexus][:app_server_proxy][:ssl][:port]                = 8443

context_path will not work because it does not correspond with

default[:nexus][:app_server_proxy][:port] = "http://127.0.0.1:#{node[:nexus][:port]}"

this should be

default[:nexus][:app_server_proxy][:port] = "http://127.0.0.1:#{node[:nexus][:port]}#{node[:nexus][:context_path]}"

and the its still a mystery to me why the ssl port is set to 8443

if the http to https redirect will even work
this line https://github.com/RiotGames/nexus-cookbook/blob/master/templates/default/nexus_proxy.nginx.conf.erb#L7

needs to be changed to

return 301 https://$host:8443$request_uri;

I'm not sure what's not working out of the box here. I have been consistently using this cookbook for months, and after issuing a vagrant up, I have been able to hit https://localhost:8443/nexus/index.html without issue.

Of course, if there is an issue, it is definitely worth fixing. As for 8443, when this cookbook was originally written, I might have had some trouble with getting nginx on 443 (despite root). 8443 is probably worth revisiting, but hasn't been a high priority for us.

The redirect came from within the community, and could be incorrect. Also worth fixing IMO.

okay there is the confusion i thought the idea was when you hit http://localhost/
you would be redirected to nexus
