Magento 2 with varnish and Nginx as SSL termination - Endless Redirect
Any Nginx / Varnish / SSL gurus out there? I had a CentOS7 server configured successfully and Magento 2.17 running. Then I decided that I wanted to run everything over SSL and Varnish still has pages cached.
Since Varnish does not handle SSL, I reconfigured Varnish and Nginx to terminate SSL. Nginx is currently configured to listen on port 443 and relay requests for varnish on port 8081. Then, varnish is expected to execute the request and return it to listen to Nginx on port 8080. When I make an HTTPS request, nginx successfully forwards it to varnish and then, as far as I can tell from the logs, it redirects 20 times before the browser turns it off and displays the message: "The page is not redirecting as expected."
Perhaps something small and silly that I was unable to detect and a second set of eyes would really be appreciated.
My nginx test.conf file for domain test.com:
## Proxy server to terminate ssl, loop to Varnish-HTTP -> nginx-HTTPS
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name test.com;
sub_filter 'http://' 'https://';

It looks like you are redirecting to https://
because your back-end does not know that it is being served by HTTPS (and presumably you configured it to be, so it generates https links, etc.). You need to convince Magento to HTTPS even if it doesn't seem like it. In a similar setup with Apache, I use:
<If "-R '192.0.0.1'">
SetEnvIfNoCase X-Forwarded-Proto https HTTPS=on
</If>
Not sure what the syntax is for NGINX, but hopefully this should put you on the right track.
