RedirectRegex

Redirecting the Client to a Different Location

The RedirectRegex redirects a request using regex matching and replacement.

Configuration Examples

# Redirect with domain replacement
# Note: all dollar signs need to be doubled for escaping.
labels:
  - "traefik.http.middlewares.test-redirectregex.redirectregex.regex=^http://localhost/(.*)"
  - "traefik.http.middlewares.test-redirectregex.redirectregex.replacement=http://mydomain/$${1}"

    replacement = "http://mydomain/${1}"

Configuration Options

permanent

Set the permanent option to true to apply a permanent redirection.

regex

The regex option is the regular expression to match and capture elements from the request URL.

Tip

Regular expressions and replacements can be tested using online tools such as Go Playground or the Regex101.

When defining a regular expression within YAML, any escaped character needs to be escaped twice: example\.com needs to be written as example\\.com.

replacement

The replacement option defines how to modify the URL to have the new target URL.

Warning

Care should be taken when defining replacement expand variables: $1x is equivalent to ${1x}, not ${1}x (see Regexp.Expand), so use ${1} syntax.

Using Traefik OSS in Production?

If you are using Traefik at work, consider adding enterprise-grade API gateway capabilities or commercial support for Traefik OSS.

Adding API Gateway capabilities to Traefik OSS is fast and seamless. There's no rip and replace and all configurations remain intact. See it in action via this short video.
