Figure out alternative to Nginx for forwarding duplicate Handles #819

Open alawvt opened 1 year ago

alawvt commented 1 year ago

Another local only issue - if we are going to remove Nginx, (and I do think having fewer components is a good idea), we'll need some guidance from the sysadmins on how to handle forwarding from old, deleted urls of duplicate items to the remaining item, which is now handled with nginx. From previous gitlab issues and projects:

Can traefik handle this directly? Do we need a different file format and a different process, or can we use the same?

Traefik can handle this directly, but it'll be hard to automatically merge changes to the redirect URL to it like how we do it for Nginx right now.

We can still probably come up with an acceptable system where we manually verify and push changes from a repository once a month into the Traefik config.

Thank you for this information, @soumikgh.
