zipkin-ui ZIPKIN_BASE_URL variable

[tomhughesnice]

Hi,

This environmental variable does not appear to be working as I would expect.

For example I have a Zipkin Server running on my machine at http://127.0.0.1:1111. But when I launch the Zipkin UI it never makes requests to that Zipkin Server. Using Chromes debugger I can see the request for services is being made to http://localhost/api/v1/services not http://127.0.0.1:1111/api/v1/services.

I'm just using the Docker Compose file at https://github.com/openzipkin/docker-zipkin/blob/master/docker-compose-ui.yml and modify the ZIPKIN_BASE_URL environmental variable before running it.

Is there something i'm missing here?

The browser will go to whatever the host is /api/whatever (which is nginx) nginx itself forwards that request onwards via this location /api { expires off; proxy_pass ${ZIPKIN_BASE_URL}; } You should see in the nginx logs a failure if it failed I think, but the browser will appear like nginx is handling everything
