Feature Request: Support Subfolder Installation

Open artickl opened this issue 2 months ago • 2 comments

Current behavior Documentation states that OtterWiki requires a dedicated domain (e.g. wiki.domain.tld) and cannot be mapped into a subfolder. Ref: Installation Guide

Problem Our department already uses a third-level domain. Due to SSL restrictions (wildcard certificates only valid for the third level), we cannot create a fourth-level subdomain for the wiki.

Proposal Allow OtterWiki to be hosted under a subfolder (e.g. department.domain.tld/wiki) instead of requiring a dedicated subdomain.

Questions

  • Is there a technical reason why direct paths are required?
  • Would adding subfolder support be feasible and beneficial for other users with similar constraints?

This functionality would also be nice for my use case (though I'm able to work around it)

Hey @artickl thanks for opening up this issue (and @JoshuaMarti for seconding the request)!

I tried this and never got it working properly, I will check again if this is possible with flask. For reference, this was discussed earlier in #258.
