How can i set a base_url?

[polhaghverdian]

Hi,

First of all great job on this project. Its the best dashboard i have used.

I want to put dashy behind a reverse-proxy (nginx). However its not possible to do that when i have multiple services running on different paths. All of my services provide a way of adding a base_url in order to have it mapped easily against a reverse-proxy url path.

Heya, thanks for your kind words :)

So you should just be able to set BASE_URL to your sub-URL, as an environmental variable. There's a bit more detail under the web server config section of the Management Docs.

See also #31 and #193

Hope that helps :) But feel free to reopen the issue if your still having trouble with this

Hi @Lissy93

Unfortunately the Management Docs does not provide information for docker.

Hey @polhaghverdian

What about just passing it along to the IP and exposed port of your docker host?
I for example use NPM (Nginx Proxy Manager) and have dash.domain.com proxy to http://192.168.1.160:4000

@UrekD Yes you are right that would work. However i like to specify paths for each app.

for example:

• mydomain.com/gitea
• mydomain.com/jellyfin
