Redirects are something you do with DNS, by stub web-pages (a short piece of javascript on a static html page on project1.domain.com can redirect the user's browser straight to the right place), or by redirects inside the web-server.

But this is all redirects, and not something you do in Jira. You'll need to tell us what software you have on the urls you want to redirect from, or what your DNS is, and hope we know them well enough to help.

Also, there's not a huge amount of use for this. Once your users have been redirected, their browser will be on the Jira base url and continue to work from that. Redirects are generally only useful when you've moved a system to a new url and people have bookmarks and old links that you want to direct over to the new one.

JIRA or Confluence based by Tomcat 9.

On my DNS server I created rule alias project1.mydns.com. And this alias connected to JIRA Server by IP.

Now. How to with JIRA tomcat use this alias for open project jira.domain.com/project/TEST1

It won't. That's why I tried to explain what redirects are doing.

Jira uses and works on a single base url. Everything is done relative to, or using that url.

You can easily redirect any url you want to land on Jira, or specific places in Jira, but people will then be using the system on the Jira base url once the redirection has got them to the end point. There's no "alias" or using Jira on other urls.

But, I am install new ngins server on JIRA server. Disable tomcat and rule URI's from this ngins server

Use NginX on the Atlassian server to issue permanent redirects based on the host name used to access the server. You could use a similar approach using the project names instead of the app names as I did here. Our Confluence has migrated to cloud.

http {
server {
listen 80;
server_name my-company-atlassian my-company-atlassian.mycompany.local;

location / {
proxy_pass http://my-company-atlassian.mycompany.local:8080/;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}

location /confluence {
rewrite ^/confluence/?(.*)$ https://my-company.atlassian.net/wiki/$1 permanent;
}

location /wiki {
rewrite ^/wiki/?(.*)$ https://my-company.atlassian.net/wiki/$1 permanent;
}

location /jira {
rewrite ^/jira/?(.*)$ http://my-company-atlassian.mycompany.local:8080/$1 permanent;
}

location /bitbucket {
rewrite ^/bitbucket/?(.*)$ http://my-company-atlassian.mycompany.local:7990/$1 permanent;
}
}

server {
listen 80;
server_name bitbucket bitbucket.mycompany.local;

location / {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://my-company-atlassian.mycompany.local:7990/$1 permanent;
}
}

server {
listen 80;
server_name jira jira.mycompany.local;

location / {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://my-company-atlassian.mycompany.local:8080/$1 permanent;
}
}

server {
listen 80;
server_name confluence confluence.mycompany.local wiki wiki.mycompany.local;

location / {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ https://my-company.atlassian.net/wiki/$1 permanent;
}
}

If like us have moved to cloud there is an app, Redirection by Easy Apps.
