g5 / heroku-moved Goto Github PK

It's just a simple sinatra app that will run without any intervention on Heroku that will tell a visitor that an app has moved. Set the MOVED_TO environment variable on the app to the new domain (no protocol, just whatever.yourdomain.com). That's it.

Update: Guess what? That's not all. In some cases, I do need to do a real redirect. It's not the default, but you can optionally specify REAL_REDIRECT=true. This will redirect all visitors to the MOVED_TO domain, respecting deep links (e.g. old.com/bar/baz will go to new.com/bar/baz). If you set REAL_REDIRECT=shallow it will do a full redirect, but discarding the original URI.

This is available as a Docker Hub image at g5search/heroku-moved in the Docker Hub Registry, and deployment.yaml in this repository shows an example Kubernetes Deployment YAML. You should modify it before use, as the proper environment variable values depend on your situation.
