Use nginx outside of docker container (see [Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/running-other-websites-on-the-same-machine-as-discourse/17247)) and you can rewrite those URLs using nginx configuration.

Syntax is:

```plaintext
server {
  server_name sub.domain.com;
  rewrite ^(.*) http://12.34.56.78/a/particular/path/ permanent;
}

```
