There is no way around?

I added the redirector middleware and used to have a patch to the strapi admin in the node modules to have another redirect

diff --git a/node_modules/@strapi/admin/admin/src/pages/HomePage/index.js b/node_modules/@strapi/admin/admin/src/pages/HomePage/index.js

used to have this patch to be applied inside the mode modules to fix the logo click case.

but now on 4.25.1 it’s not working.

so is there a new way to have it.

my redirector middleware is

module.exports = (config, { strapi }) => {
  return async (ctx, next) => {
    strapi.log.info("Redirector middleware");
    if (ctx.path === "/") {
      ctx.redirect(strapi.config.get("server.admin.url", "/admin"));
      return next();
    }
    if (ctx.path === "/admin") {
      ctx.redirect(strapi.config.get("server.admin.url", "/admin/plugins/dashboard-settings"));
      return next();
    }
    if (ctx.path === "/admin/") {
      ctx.redirect(strapi.config.get("server.admin.url", "/admin/plugins/dashboard-settings"));
      return next();
    }
    await next();
  };
};
