{: .subtitle }

`TODO: add schema`

RegexRedirect redirect a request from an url to another with regex matching and replacement.

## Configuration Examples

```yaml tab="Docker"
# Redirect with domain replacement
labels:
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-redirectregex.redirectregex.regex=^http://localhost/(.*)"
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-redirectregex.redirectregex.replacement=http://mydomain/$1"
```

```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
# Redirect with domain replacement
apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1
kind: Middleware
metadata:
  name: test-redirectregex
spec:
  redirectRegex:
    regex: ^http://localhost/(.*)
    replacement: http://mydomain/$1
```

```toml tab="File"
# Redirect with domain replacement
[http.middlewares]
  [http.middlewares.test-redirectregex.redirectregex]
    regex = "^http://localhost/(.*)"
    replacement = "http://mydomain/$1"
```

## Configuration Options

### `permanent`

Set the `permanent` option to `true` to apply a permanent redirection.

### `regex`

The `Regex` option is the regular expression to match and capture elements form the request URL.

!!! warning

    Care should be taken when defining replacement expand variables: `$1x` is equivalent to `${1x}`, not `${1}x` (see [Regexp.Expand](https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/#Regexp.Expand)), so use `${1}` syntax.

!!! tip

    Regular expressions and replacements can be tested using online tools such as [Go Playground](https://play.golang.org/p/mWU9p-wk2ru) or the [Regex101](https://regex101.com/r/58sIgx/2).
    
### `replacement`

The `replacement` option defines how to modify the URl to have the new target URL.
