caprover/nginx-redirect repository overview

⁠nginx-redirect

A very simple redirector using nginx and Docker

docker run -p 1234:80 --env RETURN_LOCATION='return 301 https://caprover.com$request_uri;' caprover/nginx-redirect

Open http://localhost:1234 in your browser.

This is available as a CapRover one click app. It's useful when you want to create domain aliases. For example you want all traffic from http(s)://www.example.com to be redirected to https://example.com. In this case:

• Create an "Nginx Redirect" one click app and enter https://example.com as your redirect URL.
• Once the app is deployed, go to your panel and connect www.example.com to this app.
• You can connect more domains if you want to, such as www2.example.com and etc.
• Enable HTTPS for any (or all) of these added domains if needed.
• You are done! Now navigating to any of these connected addresses should redirect the user to https://example.com
• You can connect example.com to your actual app.
