APPLICATION_ROOT setting does not work

[malorambo]

Hello !

Trying to setup the app on a Debian 11 machine, I cannot find out how to get the APPLICATION_ROOT setting working with nginx. I set it up with APPLICATION_ROOT = "accounting", but nginx will redirect me to my.domain.tld/accounting/accounting/, and will return a 404 NOT FOUND for every file in static (looking for them into accounting/static/). I tried to tweak the nginx conf.d/ihatemoney.conf file, or even copy the whole static/ folder to accounting/static/ but it won't solve anything.

Here is the /etc/nginx/conf.d/ihatemoney.conf for information : (almost identical to the default generated file)

server {
    server_name my.domain.tld;  # (set up correctly)
    keepalive_timeout 5;

    location /static/ {
        alias   /home/my-user/ihatemoney/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ihatemoney/static/;
    }
    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_connect_timeout 90;
        proxy_send_timeout 180;
        proxy_read_timeout 180;
        proxy_buffer_size 16k;
        proxy_buffers 8 16k;
        proxy_busy_buffers_size 32k;
        proxy_intercept_errors on;
        if (!-f $request_filename) {
            proxy_pass http://ihatemoney_backend;
            break;
        }
    }
}

upstream ihatemoney_backend {
        server unix:/tmp/ihatemoney.gunicorn.sock;
}

Is there any chance I messed up somewhere with nginx ?

You can try with :

proxy_pass http://ihatemoney_backend/;

With a trailing slash. But I see no accounting in you nginx.conf, is this set in the gunicorn configuration?

I have same problem but I'm using traefik

I copied the entrypoint.sh to my local comp from the docker container and added APPLICATION_ROOT in it. Then used that file to boot up the docker container by mounting it to the container with docker-compose and pointing the entrypypoint to it.

What's the conclusion here? Did somebody got APPLICATION_ROOT to work?

We have unit tests for this feature (since #358 I believe), so it it doesn't actually work, we need to improve the test.

[haivala]

as I explained already. APPLICATION_ROOT needs to be added in https://github.com/spiral-project/ihatemoney/blob/master/conf/entrypoint.sh

[zorun]

Right, that makes sense, fixed in #1189

@malorambo were you also using Docker / docker-compose?

Closing, feel free to reopen if there is still a problem.
