Hosting from subpath via reverse proxy

[schmurian]

Hi,

I have another question: Would it be possible to access Watcharr from a subpath via nginx or similar reverse proxies?

An example configuration could look something like this in nginx:

...
location /watcharr/ {
                proxy_pass http://localhost:3080/;
                proxy_set_header Host $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        }
...

Hi @schmurian, the beta site is hosted behind a reverse proxy using Caddy. I have never tried doing it behind a subpath (nor have I used nginx before), but I will try giving it a go to see if it works.

I think I see the problem, the links/redirects won't include the new base path which causes it to break. I'll look into how we can fix that, probably a new base url setting.

Yep, this is harder than I thought. The only thing I can think of is to manually add the base url (if set) to the start of each url.

I can live with that solution, but it seems very prone to being broken when I inevitably forget to do it.

Going to think some more and probably just do it anyways because I'm not that smart.

Please don't stress about this request. Yes, you're right, I've seen the base path being exposed in other docker configuration files, but I remember it can be complex to implement it in a way that it doesn't break things. I can use a subdomain instead in nginx.

Thank you for looking into it though!
