Reverse proxy compatability

[jmctune]

Would love a supported way to reverse proxy LANraragi over my Nginx server to give me the ability to read on the go.

I've got a really janky way of it working right now, but I'm missing the page style.

My location blocks:

location /manga/ {
	include /config/nginx/auth_basic.conf;
	proxy_pass http://172.20.0.8:3000/;
}

location /js/ {
	include /config/nginx/auth_basic.conf;
	proxy_pass http://172.20.0.8:3000/js/;
}

location /js/vendor/ {
	include /config/nginx/auth_basic.conf;
	proxy_pass http://172.20.0.8:3000/js/vendor/;
}

location /css/ {
	include /config/nginx/auth_basic.conf;
	proxy_pass http://172.20.0.8:3000/css/;
}

location /css/vendor/ {
	include /config/nginx/auth_basic.conf;
	proxy_pass http://172.20.0.8:3000/css/vendor/;
}

From what I'm seeing, you need to add the following location block to get themes:

location /themes/ {
	include /config/nginx/auth_basic.conf;
	proxy_pass http://172.20.0.8:3000/themes/;
}

As for specific reverse proxy support, I can't really do anything more than what's already there, i.e specifying port/interfaces for the server to listen on.

I don't know much about nginx, but if it's like apache your best shot is to map all of port 3000 to a subdomain, if possible:

Thanks for the really quick response there.

That was the missing piece. Themes are pulling in now. All of the above was required, along with your additional location block. Thanks a lot!

So I just tried this and found that there's a lot more locations that would need to be passed for this to work now. Would it be possible to implement a base url config option like many other self hosted webservers have?

You can find a cleaner reverse proxy nginx config here: https://sugoi.gitbook.io/lanraragi/installing-lanraragi/methods#warning-reverse-proxies

So base url is 'will not support'?

Not for now since there's no built-in support for it in mojo and I'd have to whip up something -- Feel free to make a new issue about it though!

Seems like the mojolicious guys don't want to add direct support for base-url

mojolicious/mojo#484

However, there is documentation on using the before-dispatch hook to rewrite URLs.
