Middleware¶

prefix-removing¶

apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1
kind: Middleware
metadata:
  name: my-server-stripprefix
  namespace: test
spec:
  stripPrefix:
    prefixes:
      - "/my-prefix"

For this middleware, if the path does start with the configured prefix ("/my-prefix"), Traefik removes that prefix from the request path before forwarding it to the backend service.

Useful when we have multiple services running behind Traefik,

It can simplify backend service configuration by allowing the service to assume a clean path structure regardless of the actual routing prefix used by Traefik.
It can improve code maintainability if backend code expects a specific URL structure that might be different from the public-facing path.
