Nginx: Redirects Cheat Sheet

301 Permanent

Useful for handling www.yourdomain.com vs. yourdomain.com or redirecting http to https. In this case we will redirect www.yourdomain.com to yourdomain.com.

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name www.yourdomain.com;
  return 301 http://yourdomain.com$request_uri;
}

302 Temporary

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name yourdomain.com;
  return 302 http://otherdomain.com;
}

Redirect on specific URL

Can be permanent (301) or temporary (302).

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name yourdomain.com;
  location /redirect-url {
	return 301 http://otherdomain.com;  
  }
}
