Base URL

[kmlucy]

Is there a way to set a base URL? I'd like to run Dozzle at /dozzle/, instead of at /.

@kmlucy This is not possible right now. But it wouldn't be too hard to add it. Before doing it, I want to make sure I understand your use case. I think in Docker you can only bound one container to each port. So I am wondering why it would be useful to have this running on /dozzle instead when it will have to be also another port anyway. Let me know if I am not understanding your use case.

[kmlucy]

I have it running behind a reverse proxy so I would like to be able to access it at https://URL/dozzle. The alternative is to create another subdomain. While that is possible, I would greatly prefer to just have it in a subdirectory instead.

[amir20]

If you are already running it behind a revery proxy then wouldn't it be possible to map /dozzle to locahost:8080/? Or is that not possible?

[kmlucy]

It is possible to map it, yes, but it doesn't work for any hardcoded paths. So when it tries to get something like /styles.css, it can't find it.

For this specific instance, the application doesn't load because it is looking for /main.4b8b43b8.js and /main.943eb0cf.css instead of /dozzle/main.4b8b43b8.js and /dozzle/main.943eb0cf.css.

ahhh. I see. Ok, that makes more sense. I thought that might be the problem but I wasn't sure. Let me see if I can make it easy to fix that.

[kmlucy]

Awesome, thanks!

[amir20]

@kmlucy can you try with https://github.com/amir20/dozzle/releases/tag/v1.2.0? It should work now with --base option which is documented in the readme file.

Please let me know how it goes! And thanks for the feedback.

[kmlucy]

That seems to have fixed this issue, but revealed another. I've opened #6, but this one look fixed. Thanks for the quick turnaround!

Ok, so how to pass the --base variable in docker-compose? why not just use environment variables?

UPDATE: Given the unusual use of arguments, I've managed to circumvent rebuilding the project to use environment variables (i.e: os.Getenv("ADDR")), I figured docker-compose could handle passing the arguments via command: https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#command

for example:

dockerlogs:
image: amir20/dozzle:latest
container_name: dockerlogs
restart: always
command: --base /dockerlogs
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro

[amir20]

I was going to suggest using command. The reason I hadn't done a lot in in ENV is because I have also released this project as binary. Which makes more sense than ENV.

It wouldn't be hard to make it read ENV though in https://github.com/amir20/dozzle/blob/master/main.go#L36-L38.

I use pflags so if there is an easy way to make that change, I'll happily accept PRs.

[amir20]

This might fix this.
#21

I'll need to update the docs. You can do DOZZLE_BASE=/test go run main.go
