Its been a long time since I worked with apache and switched to nginx. It took me some time but I figured it out. I couldn'T find any virtualhosts directive, nor was I sure which config file dealt only with nextcloud and port 80 so I placed my redirect into my .htaccess file.
from INSIDE the nextcloud jail, edit: /usr/pbi/nextcloud-amd64/www/nextcloud/.htaccess and find this section:
Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* - [env=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteRule ^\.well-known/host-meta /public.php?service=host-meta [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^\.well-known/host-meta\.json /public.php?service=host-meta-json [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^\.well-known/carddav /remote.php/dav/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^\.well-known/caldav /remote.php/dav/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^remote/(.*) remote.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(?:build|tests|config|lib|3rdparty|templates)/.* - [R=404,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/.well-known/acme-challenge/.*
RewriteRule ^(?:\.|autotest|occ|issue|indie|db_|console).* - [R=404,L]
</IfModule>
and modify to look like this:
Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
# This checks to make sure the connection is not already HTTPS
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]
# This rule will redirect users from their original location, to the same location but using HTTPS.
# i.e. http://www.example.com/foo/ to https://www.example.com/foo/
# The leading slash is made optional so that this will work either in httpd.conf
# or .htaccess context
RewriteRule .* - [env=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteRule ^\.well-known/host-meta /public.php?service=host-meta [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^\.well-known/host-meta\.json /public.php?service=host-meta-json [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^\.well-known/carddav /remote.php/dav/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^\.well-known/caldav /remote.php/dav/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^remote/(.*) remote.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(?:build|tests|config|lib|3rdparty|templates)/.* - [R=404,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/.well-known/acme-challenge/.*
RewriteRule ^(?:\.|autotest|occ|issue|indie|db_|console).* - [R=404,L]
</IfModule>

This will redirect all request from HTTP to HTTPS.
Thanks for that.
