title: How do I Re-route Ghost Blog Admin URL without modifying the API Address?
body: <p>Ghost blog platform has a setting that allows you to change the admin panel login location (which starts as: <a href="https://whateveryoursiteis.com/ghost" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://whateveryoursiteis.com/ghost</a>).  Methodology / docs for changing that setting can be found here: <a href="https://ghost.org/docs/config/#admin-url" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://ghost.org/docs/config/#admin-url</a></p>
  <p>However — when using the above methodology the API Url that is used for Search etc etc is ALSO modified meaning all requests to the ghost API will also be forwarded to the alternate domain (not just the admin access).</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>My question is — what is the best way to achieve a redirect of the admin URL to a different Domain / protocol while allowing the API url used by Ghost to remain the same?</p>
  </blockquote>
  <h2>More background.</h2>
  <p>We are running ghost on top of GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine) on a Multi-Region Ingress which allows us to dump our CloudSQL DB down to a SQLite file and then build that database into our production Docker Containers which are then deployed to the different Kubernetes nodes that are fronted by the GCE-Ingress load balancer.</p>
  <p>Since we need to rebuild that database / container on content change (not just on code change) we need to have a separate Admin URL backed by Cloud SQL where we can persist / modify our data which then triggers the rebuild on our Ci pipeline via Ghost Webhooks.</p>
  <h2>Another related question might be:</h2>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Is it possible to use standard ghost redirects (created via: <a href="https://docs.ghost.org/concepts/redirects/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.ghost.org/concepts/redirects/</a>) to redirect the admin panel URL (ie. <a href="https://whateveryoursiteis.com/ghost" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://whateveryoursiteis.com/ghost</a>) to a different domain (ie. <a href="https://youradminsite.com/ghost" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://youradminsite.com/ghost</a>)?</p>

  <h2>Another Related GKE / GCE-Ingress Question:</h2>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Is it possible to create 301 redirects natively using Kuberentes GCE-Ingress on GKE without adding an nGinx container etc?</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>That will be my first attempt after posting this — but I figured either way maybe it helps another ghost platform fan down the line someplace — I will attempt to respond back as I find answers to those questions (assuming someone doesn't beat me to it!).</p>
