# Redirect for YunoHost [](https://dash.yunohost.org/appci/app/redirect)   [](https://install-app.yunohost.org/?app=redirect) *[Lire ce readme en français.](./README_fr.md)* > *This package allows you to install Redirect quickly and simply on a YunoHost server. If you don't have YunoHost, please consult [the guide](https://yunohost.org/#/install) to learn how to install it.* ## Overview This application allows to integrate a custom tile in YunoHost's user portal. Typical use cases include: - **visible 301/302 redirect** : having a "virtual" app tile that's just a redirection to another url or external website - **invisible redirect / reverse-proxy** : creating an app tile for a local app listening on a specific port, or a Docker container, or an app hosted on another machine In technical terms: this app only adds a NGINX configuration snippet with either `redirect` or `proxy_pass` rule, and a YunoHost tile + appropriate SSOwat configuration. **Shipped version:** 1.0.1~ynh1 ## Disclaimers / important information ## Redirect type ### Visible redirect The client will be redirected to another url or external website - `your-domain.com -> another-domain.net` - `your-domain.com/foo -> another-domain.net/bar` ### Invisible redirect (a.k.a "reverse-proxy") Visitor's address bar will remain the same. Typically used to integrate into YunoHost a manually-installed app into the portal. - `you-domain.com/foo -> http://172.0.0.1:8080/app` **IMPORTANT:** you may have to further tweak the `redirect.conf` in the nginx configuration, depending on your needs! **IMPORTANT:** Many apps do not support being redirected to a different path due to relative links! This means that some apps being hosted for example on http://127.0.0.1:5050/app/ MUST be redirected to http://domain.tld/app/ and NOT http://domain.tld/someotherapp/. For example : an Odoo Docker container runs on http://127.0.0.1:8069/. You will not be able to redirect it to http://domain.tld/odoo/ ! You have to redirect it to the root, so for example http://odoo.domain.tld/ ## Documentation and resources * Official app website: https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/redirect_ynh * YunoHost documentation for this app: https://yunohost.org/app_redirect * Report a bug: https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/redirect_ynh/issues ## Developer info Please send your pull request to the [testing branch](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/redirect_ynh/tree/testing).
