You may need to add an NGINX precompiled module! QUIC can better support http3
--with-http_v3_module
server {
listen 443 quic reuseport udp; # Key parameters:udp + reuseport
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_protocols TLSv1.3; # compulsionTLSv1.3
ssl_ciphers TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256:TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256;
# HTTP/3Response headers
add_header Alt-Svc 'h3=":443"; h3-29=":443"; ma=86400' always;
}
Nginx installed by Hestia (mainline version from Nginx repo) already has http3 support.
❯ nginx -V 2>&1| grep -o -- '--with-http_v3_module'
--with-http_v3_module
You need to create the required templates with the http3 directives.
Example:
Default templates for Nginx standalone:
Note: default-http3-reuseport
template must be used only in one domain, for the rest of domains use the other template default-http3
Also, keep in mind that you must create a firewall rule to allow access to port 443 UDP

These files are in the ‘/usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/nginx’ directory
Do I need to change the nginx configuration inside ‘/home/www/conf/web/youweb’
Or can you just modify ‘/home/www/conf/web/youweb’?
The example templates I posted are for Nginx standalone and are located in /usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/nginx/php-fpm/
. The templates located in /usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/nginx/
are for Nginx + Apache2 so the templates I posted won’t work if you use Nginx+Apache2 You should create new ones based on the templates in ‘/usr/local/hestia/data/templates/web/nginx’.
No, you must create new templates for your domains and assign the templates to your domains. You would need to rebuild the web domains.
