Having trouble getting rancher to redirect users who (for some reason) still think www. is necessary

I’m using geldim/redirect to redirect http to https and that is working great, but it appears to only handle the port redirect.

I’m trying to use cusspvz/redirect which looks like it should do the trick, but getting no love, just 503 errors.

My biggest concern is that I’m at a loss for how to debug this. Where is the log for the load balancer that might tell me what I’ve got misconfigured?

Hi,

Have you got any solution for this in the meantime?

I would need the solution for this problem as well as an idea how to redirect to a customized maintenance page in case i get a 503 or 404 status code from the backend.

Best and thx
