Starting HTTP / 2 on the server with Nginx

Posted on by

The following tutorial describes how to obtain support for the HTTP protocol / 2 w Nginx. We made in a very simply way to get started.

Requirements ?
Nginx version 1.9.5 the version can be checked by executing the command on the server: nginx -v
Openssl version 1.0.2 the version can be checked by executing the command on the server: OpenSSL version

Everything is limited to editing our vhost, and more specifically the listen parameter

We find

1
listen 443 ssl

I change the

1
listen 443 ssl http2;

We reload Nginx and it's ready.

1
sudo systemctl reload nginx.service

Vhost should look similar to this:

1
2

server {
 
  listen 443 ssl http2;
  listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
 
  server_name example.com;
  root /path/to/public;
 
  ssl_certificate /path/to/certificate.crt;
  ssl_certificate_key /path/to/private.key;
 
  ssl_protocols TLSv1.2;
 
}
