One way to direct to a randomly selected entry from a list in Nginx is by using the Nginx "map" module along with the "rand" function.
Here are the steps to do that:
map $random_variable $selected_entry {
default "example.com/entry1";
1 "example.com/entry2";
2 "example.com/entry3";
3 "example.com/entry4";
}
Here, we are defining a map called "$selectedentry" that will take a random value from the variable "$randomvariable" and return a corresponding entry from the list.
The "default" value is the entry that will be returned if none of the other values match. In this example, we have four entries in the list, but you can add or remove entries as needed.
set $random_variable rand(0,3);
Here, we are setting the "$random_variable" variable to a random number between 0 and 3 (since we have 4 entries in our list).
rewrite ^/random-entry$ $selected_entry redirect;
Here, we are redirecting any request to "/random-entry" to the randomly selected entry using the "$selected_entry" variable.
Note: You can customize the variable names and values as per your requirements.
