Using Traefik v2. From the internet, I'm requesting `curl -i https://aaa.mysite.com/1/bbb/ccc`. I have a local Whoami server running at `whoami.corp`. I want the request to go to `http://whoami.corp/users/1/bbb/ccc`, so I need to rewrite the path. With Nginx, it's trivial, but Traefik gives me grief. Tried this config, but it returns `301`, which is pointless since the modified URL is inaccessible from outside. ```auto http: routers: rss: entryPoints: - "https" rule: "(Host (`aaa.mysite.com`))" middlewares: - "mw_rss_replace_path" service: rss middlewares: mw_rss_replace_path: replacePathRegex: regex: "(.*)" replacement: "/users/${1}" services: rss: loadBalancer: servers: - url: "http://whoami.corp" passHostHeader: true ``` What is the appropriate method? ---

Wrong template variable format? ([Doc](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/middlewares/http/replacepathregex/)) ```auto # Replace path with regex http: middlewares: test-replacepathregex: replacePathRegex: regex: "^/foo/(.*)" replacement: "/bar/$1" ``` ---

Tried that as well, no change—both `${1}` and `$1` work the same way. The `location` header in the `301` response shows the correct string: ```auto HTTP/2 301 content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8 date: Sun, 01 Oct 2023 17:43:15 GMT location: /users/1/aaa/bbb ``` ---

Share your full Traefik static and dynamic config, and `docker-compose.yml` if used. ---

Your config file with `http` is actually dynamic config - vs the static config like `entrypoints`. I would recommend to use a dedicated Docker network, we recently had long troubleshooting when using `default`. ([Post](https://community.traefik.io/t/traefik-refuses-to-proxy-to-a-specific-service/19970/)) You shared you `docker-compose.yml`. Where are the Traefik ports exposed? ---

Traefik is running under docker, which runs as a service under OpenWRT on an ARM64 router. Port 443 from WAN is redirected to the address of this Traefik instance (`10.70.70.200`). In docker, it's a MACVLAN network, so all ports of each container are exposed. The fact that the network is labeled `default` is irrelevant in this case. ```auto networks: default: driver: macvlan driver_opts: parent: eth2.70 ipam: config: - subnet: 10.70.70.0/24 gateway: 10.70.70.1 ``` Traefik has been working great for over a year already. I have multiple `providers`, and everything is working as expected except for this. Some services are on the same machine (some inside docker, some outside), while other services are on other machines inside my LAN.
