Trouble setting url_path_prefix

[wouterAA]

Hi there,

I would love to set the root_path variable to something like /libreboard so that I can access the project by https://example.com/libreboard but I can't find out how I can achieve this.

I tried to add it to the environments variables when starting a docker container (docker run -d ... -e "ROOT_URL=https://example.com" -e "ROOT_URL_PATH_PREFIX=/libreboard") but this doesn't seem to work, and (docker run -d ... -e "ROOT_URL=https://example.com/libreboard") seems to result in the application thinking that the ROOT_URL=https://example.com/libreboard and the ROOT_URL_PATH_PREFIX=/libreboard.

I'm not familiar with meteor, but would love to run libreboard. Am I missing the correct way to set a url path prefix, or is some code change required to allow setting it.

I have a same question. How can I run the app as subdirectory?

Hi,

Same here, I'm trying to run wekan (docker container) in a subdirectory. I tried to use ROOT_URL alone and in combination with ROOT_URL_PATH_PREFIX, but I was unable to make it work. Here is what I noticed (RU = ROOT_URL and PP = ROOT_URL_PATH_PREFIX):

---

RU=http://example.com/

Everything works correctly at /

---

RU=http://example.com/libreboard/

Kind of working at /libreboard, but not correctly. Page URLs in the address bar are wrong (missing the /libreboard part), but the pages are still displayed and working unless pages are refreshed or the URL reloaded.

---

Adding the PP argument for each RU doesn't change the explained behaviours.

So first of all, Wekan doesn’t implement any specific logic to serve the application to a given URL, this is all handled by the Meteor framework and the routing package (flow-router). As you noticed @StreakyCobra the ROOT_URL_PATH_PREFIX environment variable doesn’t have any effect (not sure where it came from) but the path is supposed to be deduced from the ROOT_URL variable (see meteor/meteor#2067)

I think this is a problem with Flow-router, will investigate.

It's very nice of you @mquandalle to look at this. I wouldn't be able to do it myself. Many thanks for your help, and your project 😊

Hopefully, kadirahq/flow-router#329 should fix the issue.

[StreakyCobra]

Amazing 👍 I'll wait for it to be merged for testing... because I'm not used to JS dev and I don't know how to test it right now. Thanks again (especially for working until 3 am 😉 )!

I noticed a solution has been merged in flow-router (kadirahq/flow-router#329 (comment)). Let us know when this will be available in/from the docker image! Congrats and thanks for you job 👍

[mquandalle]

Here it is! I don’t plan to release a new version in the following days so if you need this feature sooner @StreakyCobra I encourage you to create the container directly from the source. It should be as simple as:

$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wekan/wekan.git
$ cd wekan
$ docker build -t StreakyCobra/wekan .

It's already building ;-)

Hum, it's locked at:

Downloading Meteor distribution

Meteor 1.2.0.2 has been installed in your home directory (~/.meteor).
Writing a launcher script to /usr/local/bin/meteor for your convenience.

To get started fast:

  $ meteor create ~/my_cool_app
  $ cd ~/my_cool_app
  $ meteor

Or see the docs at:

  docs.meteor.com

Let me take a look

[StreakyCobra]

Weird, it seems to have been build finally when I pressed CTRL-C... It works right now. Thanks for you amazing work 😄 It's late here, I'll have a closer look next week probably.

You’re welcome :)
