Enabling access to DBs on a subpath

[jussme]

Use Case

I'd like to connect to a database that is accessible on a URL matching this: my.domain.org/influxdb. Currently it seems the database API has to be accessible on the root of the domain.

Expected behavior

I can successfully query the database, and the client library will sent requests to e.g. influxdb/api/v2/write when submitting data.

Actual behavior

The client library queries /api/v2/write without the subpath that the database is accessible on.

Additional info

What is the point of removing the path here

influxdb3-python/influxdb_client_3/__init__.py

Line 274 in c35f372

url=f"{scheme}://{hostname}:{port}",

Hi @jussme
We will take a look.

@jussme, the InfluxDB 3 client libraries query the server using the Apache Arrow Flight protocol, which is built on top of gRPC. Unfortunately, neither the Python implementation (Apache Arrow Flight + gRPC) nor the Go variants support using a URL path in the endpoint.

Additionally, most reverse proxies cannot handle both HTTP and gRPC traffic on the same path.

Like the comment above, the path prefix will likely not work.
But can you give us more infomation about your setup and enviroment.
