Possible to redirect from apache to groovebasin?

[petterreinholdtsen]

I would like to run groovebasin on my Freedombox, where I use pagekite to forward the https port from apache to a publicly available IP address. For this to work with groovebasin, I would like to set up groovebasin behind apache. But I am unable to get this to work. I've tried using this content in /etc/apache2/conf-available/groovebasin.conf and running a2enconf groovebasin:

##
## On all sites, provide Groovebasin on a path: /groovebasin
## Allow all valid users.
##
<Location /groovebasin>
    ProxyPass http://localhost:16242

    AuthType basic
    AuthName "FreedomBox Login"
    AuthBasicProvider ldap
    AuthLDAPUrl "ldap:///ou=users,dc=thisbox?uid"
    AuthLDAPGroupAttribute memberUid
    AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN off
    Require valid-user
</Location>

The problem is that groovebasin do not understand that all its URLs have changed, and ask the browser to load /app.css, /app.js and stuff under /vendor/. Is there a way to tell groovebasin what URL base to use when sending URLs to the browser?

This is reasonable. Should be pretty easy to fix. Let me take a look at it tonight.

Very good. Please let me know if I can be of assistance.

Do you now have any idea how much work this will be to fix?

Hi. Any news on getting a reverse proxy to work with groovebasin? I
would be happy to test patches. :)

@petterreinholdtsen fwiw, reverse proxy works just fine, the problem is that groovebasin expects to live in /, while you put it at /groovebasin. I'm not sure if it is possible for your configuration to assign one subdomain for groovebasin.

Right. Nope, it is not. :( I use pagekite on the host to make it
publicly available and only have one DNS name.

Hi. Any news on making groovebasing "relocatable" URL-vise? Is it on your short term plan, or moved into the indefinite future?

Hi. Did this prove impossible to fix, despite the comment from 2016-08-31 about it being pretty easy to fix?

I would love to have use groovebasin via pagekite on my Freedombox, but for this to work URL must be relative to my Apache site.

The groovebasin package in Debian was just orphaned, ie no one in Debian at the moment have time to maintain it. Freedombox is based on Debian. As this issue has been unsolved for two years, I suspect the chance of getting groovebasin into Freedombox was significantly reduced. :(
