vktrl/nginx-domain-redirect repository overview

⁠NGINX Domain Redirect

All this lightweight Docker image does is redirect all requests from [www.]olddomain.com to https://www.newdomain.com

⁠What?

• Tiny image, about 23MB
• Configurable listening port, defaults to 80
• Logging to stdout with helpful fields, ready for Stackdriver/Cloudwatch
• Redirect using return vs rewrite for faster execution
• Configurable HTTP status, defaults to 301
• Paths are preserved: htp://www.old.com/blog/article will be redirected to https://www.new.com/blog/article

⁠How?

⁠docker-compose

services:
  redirect:
    image: vktrl/nginx-domain-redirect
    restart: always
    environment:
      - OLD_DOMAIN=foo.com
      - NEW_DOMAIN=bar.com
      - PORT= # optional, defaults to 80
      - HTTP_STATUS= # optional, defaults to 301

⁠Docker

docker run --rm -d --env-file settings.env -p 80:80 vktrl/nginx-domain-redirect

Using inline variables:

docker run --rm -d -e OLD_DOMAIN=foo.com -e NEW_DOMAIN=bar.com -p 80:80 vktrl/nginx-domain-redirect
