You can do this with a `- replace` in your app.yml similar to how it is described on [Setting up Let’s Encrypt with Multiple Domains](https://meta.discourse.org/t/setting-up-let-s-encrypt-with-multiple-domains/56685).

```plaintext
  after_ssl:
    - replace:
        filename: "/etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf"
        from: /return 301 https.+/
        to: |
          return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

    - replace:
        filename: "/etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf"
        from: /gzip on;[^\}]+\}/m
        to: |
          gzip on;
          add_header Strict-Transport-Security 'max-age=31536000'; # remember the certificate for a year and automatically connect to HTTPS for this domain

```
