Just a side note: it doesn't make sense to write proxy_pass here.  
Using

    location / {
        rewrite ^(.*) https://$host$1 permanent;
    }

would be enough.  Or, better,

    location / {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }

This will create infinite loop, as you try to redirect back to the 
same address.  Just remove this rewrite.
