Redirect server with dynamic URL and hostname support
MIT License
Redirectly is a simple URL redirect server that uses a simple INI file for defining dynamic redirects.
$ gem install redirectly
Redirectly is also available as a docker image:
# Pull the image
$ docker pull dannyben/redirectly
# Run the redirectly command line
$ docker run --rm -it dannyben/redirectly --help
# Start the server with your local configuration file
$ docker run --rm -it \
-p 3000:3000 \
-v $PWD/redirects.ini:/app/redirects.ini \
dannyben/redirectly
# docker-compose.yml
services:
redirectly:
image: dannyben/redirectly
ports:
- 3000:3000
volumes:
- ./redirects.ini:/app/redirects.ini
$ alias redirectly='docker run --rm -it -p 3000:3000 -v $PWD/redirects.ini:/app/redirects.ini dannyben/redirectly'
# In an empty directory, create a sample configuration file
$ redirectly --init
# Start the server
$ redirectly
# In another terminal, access the server using one of the configured rules
$ curl -v something.localhost:3000
You should receive a redirect header:
# ...
< HTTP/1.1 302 Found
< Location: http://it-works.com/something
# ...
Redirectly requires a simple INI file with redirect configuration details.
You can create a sample configuration file by running:
$ redirectly --init
This will create a sample redirects.ini
file:
example.com = https://other-site.com/
*.mygoogle.com/:anything = https://google.com/?q=%{anything}
example.org/* = https://other-site.com/
*.old-site.com = !https://permanent.redirect.com
:sub.app.localhost/* = http://it-works.com/%{sub}
(*)old-domain.com/*rest = http://new-domain.com/%{rest}
For additional server options, see:
$ redirectly --help
The configuration file is built of pattern = target
pairs, where:
pattern
- is any URL pattern that is supported by Mustermann.target
- is the target URL to redirect to.Notes:
target
starts with an exclamation mark, it will be a permanentpattern
includes named arguments (e.g. example.com/:something
), theytarget
as Ruby string substitution variables%{something}
).If you experience any issue, have a question or a suggestion, or if you wish to contribute, feel free to open an issue.
