@@ -43,6 +43,53 @@ However, `.well-known/matrix/client` has to be available via http and https,
 so that should *NOT* be redirected to https. Some clients don't understand the
 redirect and will therefore not find the server if you redirect everything.
 
+Under the `server_name` (the "domain name", the part after the username) you
+will need a configuration like this:
+
+```
+server {
+    listen 80;
+    listen [::]:80;
+    listen 443 ssl;
+    listen [::]:443 ssl;
+
+    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/matrixdev.procolix.com/fullchain.pem;
+    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/matrixdev.procolix.com/privkey.pem;
+    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf;
+    ssl_dhparam /etc/ssl/dhparams.pem;
+
+      server_name matrixdev.procolix.com;
+
+      location /.well-known/matrix/client {
+         return 200 '{
+            "m.homeserver": {"base_url": "https://vm02199.procolix.com"},
+            "org.matrix.msc3575.proxy": {"url": "https://vm02199.procolix.com"}
+         }';
+         default_type application/json;
+      }
+
+      location /.well-known/matrix/server {
+         return 200 '{"m.server": "vm02199.procolix.com"}';
+         default_type application/json;
+      }
+
+      location / {
+        if ($scheme = http) {
+          return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
+        }
+      }
+
+      access_log /var/log/nginx/matrixdev-access.log;
+      error_log /var/log/nginx/matrixdev-error.log;
+}
+```
+
+This defines a server that listens on both http and https. It hands out two
+.well-known entries over both http and https, and every other request over
+http is forwarded to https.
+
+Be sure to substitute the correct values for `server_name`, `base_url` and the
+certificate files.
