How to redirect from "/" to a specific db/table

[dmick]

Using nginx to redirect public IP to the local uvicorn server as 'normal'. I can't figure out how to redirect such that '/' results in accessing the one db/table I want to serve; redirecting / to /db/table breaks some of the CSS; fooling with base_url doesn't seem to help. Can someone explain this, if it's possible?

Can you please help or share your expertise with #2030 ?

Was that query to me, @gk7279?

yes @dmick . How did you make your public IP redirect to your uvicorn server?

Instead of nginx, I have apache2 on my GCP VM. Any pointers here are helpful too.

Thanks.

I managed to make it work by using nginx's 'exact match' (=) combined with 'prefix match'; that is, match explicitly on /, and redirect to /<db>/<table>, and then have the normal ProxyPath for the unadorned (prefix-matching) /.

        location = / {
                return 302 /<db>/<table>;
        }
        location / {
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8001/;
                proxy_set_header Host $host;
        }
