NGINX: Redirect the request

We can redirect the request to another url in NGINX.

Example

location = /image {

         return 307 https://unsplash.com/photos/JrjhtBJ-pGU;

}

nginx.conf

events {
  
}


http {
    include mime.types;

    server {
        listen 9090;

        server_name localhost;

        location = /image {
            return 307 https://unsplash.com/photos/JrjhtBJ-pGU;
        }
    }
}

Validate and reload nginx configuration file.

$sudo nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
$
$sudo nginx -s reload

Open the url 'http://localhost:9090/image', it will be redirected to the url mentioned in nginx.conf file.
