Virtual Host Redirector

What is this?

Virtual Host Redirector sets up permanent redirects on your domain names. For example, you could configure this to allow visitors to your domain service1.example.com to be redirected to http://example.com:9000.

Docker is supported, with a Docker image built for both x86/x64 and ARM systems.

Usage

Rules Config File

Setup a JSON file where the key is the host and the value is the full path to redirect to. For example (as in rules.example.json):

{
  "service1.example.com" : "http://example.com:9000",
  "service2.example.com" : "http://example.com/something"
}

If using Docker, this file must be called rules.json and be within a directory mapped to /config in the container.

DNS Setup

Setup DNS records for the hostnames setup above to point to the server running virtual-host-redirector.

Command Line

  1. Install NodeJS on your system.
  2. Install dependencies by running npm install.
  3. Run with node server [rules config path] [port (default 80)]. e.g.: node server ~/redirector-config/rules.json 80

Docker

x86/x64 Systems

Building

Use docker build -t jordancrawford/virtual-host-redirector .

Running

Use docker run -d -v [local config directory]:/config -p [host port]:80 --name virtual-host-redirector jordancrawford/virtual-host-redirector

For example, if your config directory is located at ~/redirector-config, then use docker run -d -v ~/redirector-config:/config -p 80:80 --name virtual-host-redirector jordancrawford/virtual-host-redirector.

ARM systems (like Raspberry Pi)

Building

Use docker build -t jordancrawford/virtual-host-redirector:arm -f Dockerfile.arm .

Running

Use docker run -d -v [local config directory]:/config -p [host port]:80 --name virtual-host-redirector jordancrawford/virtual-host-redirector:arm

For example, if your config directory is located at ~/redirector-config, then use docker run -d -v ~/redirector-config:/config -p 80:80 --name virtual-host-redirector jordancrawford/virtual-host-redirector:arm.
