Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/mthenw/frontail/issues/73

Is it possible to proxy via nginx to a specific path - http://myserver/tail? I can only seem to get working at root context.

An example would be great, if available.

Reverse proxy should do the trick, something along these lines?

 server {
    listen 80;

    server_name myserver.com;

    location /tail {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:9001;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }
}

I see that, but I realized the browser when served the lib/web/index.html file 'as is' still didn't work for me.

I editing the index.html changing link and script to /assets/

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/assets/styles/__THEME__.css">

then copy -
/usr/lib/node_modules/frontail/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/socket.io-client/socket.io.js to
/usr/lib/node_modules/frontail/lib/web/assets/socket.io/socket.io.js

Then finally nginx

location /tail {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:9001;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}

location /socket.io {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:9001;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;    
}

location /assets {
    # don't always know who ~is
    root  /usr/lib/node_modules/frontail/lib/web/;
}

-- this works for me.
