    To send a redirect one uses return 302, the requested hostname and path can be picked up using $host and $request_uri

    So the complete config for the vhost looks like

    server {
    listen 5.153.225.231:80;
    listen [2001:41c9:1:3ce::1:10]:80;
    listen   5.153.225.231:443 ssl;
    listen   [2001:41c9:1:3ce::1:10]:443 ssl;
    server_name tracker.raspbian.org;
    server_name tracker-bm.raspbian.org;
    return 302 http://$host:8000$request_uri;
}
