an http redirection service written in go

go-http-redirector

A basic http service to redirect requests to the defined url. Requests can be redirected as temporary or permanent based on regex matching.

Environment variables can be used for configuration:

• REDIRECT_URL
• TEMPORARY_REDIRECT_REGEX
• PERMANENT_REDIRECT_REGEX

REDIRECT_URL is mandatory. eg.: https://blog.berkgokden.com

TEMPORARY_REDIRECT_REGEX is a regex string. Default value matches html, php, asp extensions.

PERMANENT_REDIRECT_REGEX is a regex string. Default value matches jpg, png, bmp, json, js extensions.

Default redirection behaviour is temporary redirection.

Redirections done with 307, 308 codes to keep http method type.

docker build -t berkgokden/redirector .

Run as docker image locally

docker run -it -p 9090:9090 -p 9091:9091 -e REDIRECT_URL="https://blog.berkgokden.com" berkgokden/redirector

Redirection service is running on port 9090
