Configuration Options

General

The StripPrefix middleware will:

  • strip the matching path prefix.
  • store the matching path prefix in a X-Forwarded-Prefix header.

!!! tip

Use a `StripPrefix` middleware if your backend listens on the root path (`/`) but should be routeable on a specific prefix.

prefixes

The prefixes option defines the prefixes to strip from the request URL.

For instance, /products would match /products but also /products/shoes and /products/shirts.

Since the path is stripped prior to forwarding, your backend is expected to listen on /.

If your backend is serving assets (e.g., images or Javascript files), chances are it must return properly constructed relative URLs.
Continuing on the example, the backend should return /products/shoes/image.png (and not /images.png which Traefik would likely not be able to associate with the same backend).

The X-Forwarded-Prefix header can be queried to build such URLs dynamically.
