Negative in nginx locations?

Question

Nginx

Hi all!
Is it possible in nginx to write location with negation?
I need to make it so that when the URI matches the regular expression: ^/admin(.*)$, there will NOT be a redirect to another domain, and, conversely, it will happen if it is denied.

You don't need to want it. You need to do this:

server {
  location / {
    # тут редирект
  }
  location /admin {
    # тут админка
  }
}
