Hello everyone, I am very new to nginx and am trying to do something I am not sure is possible.

I am trying to proxy a (non-SSL-encrypted) connection from the frontend to a backend with SSL enabled (self signed certificates).
The catch is that I would like for the frontend to not have to install the certificates, because they will be added by the nginx server that proxies the request to the standalone backend.

The security issues would be no problem, because we would be deploying a different version of the frontend for this specific client. I am also just a junior and following instructions.

Is this possible and would anyone have any pointers to how I could achieve this?

Thanks in advance.
