Hi. Thank you for sharing your great project.

I'd like to use this behind a reverse proxy. But it seems to have a problem.

Launch frontail with port 9001
Access with port 80

Then the program works but image/css would be not found because they aren't in there.

Here are an example of setting of apache.

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ProxyPreserveHost On
  ProxyRequests Off
  ServerName hs.kc.jp
  ServerAlias example.com
  ServerName example.com
  ServerAlias example.com
  ProxyPass /frontail http://localhost:9001/
  ProxyPassReverse /frontail http://localhost:9001/
</VirtualHost>

I'm not sure how I could solve this.
Could you give me a hint? I want to send PR if I can(though I'm not a developer of npm...).

Hi, thanks for reporting. The problem is that frontail's web app uses absolute paths for resources (starting with "/"). I guess that removing those slashes in https://github.com/mthenw/frontail/blob/master/lib/web/index.html should solve the problem.

Do you want to create PR for that?
