Change base path of web server?

[mateogianolio]

Summary

Maybe this has been asked before but I have searched all the issues here and pixl-server-web and nothing really pops up. I want to host the cronicle web server under a reverse proxy at the subfolder /cronicle. Is there no way to set base path on the cronicle web server?

Setting base_app_url has no effect.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Set up a reverse proxy with nginx that uses proxy_pass:

location /cronicle {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:3012/;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_read_timeout 86400;
}

The html files load but the static assets (js/css etc) do not. This is expected since the base path in cronicle is /. I would like to be able to set base path to /cronicle.

I'm so sorry, but I don't know of any way to accomplish this. Cronicle expects to be hosted on the root / URI path.

Ok, thanks for the quick reply! Feel free to close this :)

@mateogianolio you can configure nginx to have your cronicle under http://somehost/cronicle. I think you need to provide some extra paths for socket.io.. Probably start in with browser dev tools / network, see what js files are missing. Search for nginx in issues, I think this was discussed few times

Anyway, have you ever wondering how to backup and restore cronicle schedule from one server to another server?

This has absolutely no relevance to the issue

This is crazy, would you accept a PR to add such functionality?

[jhuckaby]

No, sorry, Cronicle is in maintenance mode. This would be too large and complex of a change. I don't have the time to test and maintain such a thing. Apologies.

Can you do a subdomain instead? cronicle.yourdomain.com ?
