Remove www from domain name in nginx

Question

I want to remove www. from both the main site and all sublevel domains. I don't care how many levels into the TLD I am; www is banned from use. It should issue a 301 redirect.

www.example.com
www.123.example.com

I wrote the following server block, but it doesn't seem to work.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name ~^(www\.)(?<domain>.+)$;
    return 301 $scheme://$domain/$request_uri;
}

Be careful. You will have [trouble using various cloud services](http://serverfault.com/q/408017/126632) if you do not use www. — Michael Hampton, Jul 14 '14 at 21:50

Here is how I would do this:

server {
   listen       80;
   server_name  ~^www\.(?<domain>.+?)$;
   return 301 $scheme://$domain/$request_uri;
}

um, that is what I'm doing minus the capture group. – Xeoncross Jul 14 '14 at 21:40
Have you tried it? – moebius_eye Jul 14 '14 at 21:48
yes sir, it is the same though. Just one more loose `$1` floating around... – Xeoncross Jul 14 '14 at 21:49
So, what doesn't work exactly? – moebius_eye Jul 14 '14 at 21:59

From this question:

if ($http_host ~* "^www\.(.+)$"){
rewrite ^(.*)$ http://%1$request_uri redirect;
}
