Configure redirects

This topic describes how to publish a service with a redirect from old.local to new.local.

Note

Redirects do not work if a service is configured for TLS passthrough in the Interlock proxy.


  1. Create an overlay network to isolate and secure service traffic:

    docker network create -d overlay demo
    

    Example output:

    1se1glh749q1i4pw0kf26mfx5
    
  2. Create the service with the redirect:

    docker service create \
    --name demo \
    --network demo \
    --detach=false \
    --label com.docker.lb.hosts=old.local,new.local \
    --label com.docker.lb.port=8080 \
    --label com.docker.lb.redirects=http://old.local,http://new.local \
    --env METADATA="demo-new" \
    mirantiseng/docker-demo
    

    Interlock detects when the service is available and publishes it.

  3. After tasks are running and the proxy service is updated, the application is available through http://new.local with a redirect configured that sends http://old.local to http://new.local:

    curl -vs -H "Host: old.local" http://127.0.0.1
    

    Example output:

    * Rebuilt URL to: http://127.0.0.1/
    *   Trying 127.0.0.1...
    * TCP_NODELAY set
    * Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 80 (#0)
    > GET / HTTP/1.1
    > Host: old.local
    > User-Agent: curl/7.54.0
    > Accept: */*
    >
