Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/4628

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

Currently, when I reload the page after the initial load, it breaks. The issue seems to stem from the service worker caching an incorrect version with the wrong environment variables. However, if I perform a hard reload (CMD + Shift + R) or de-register the service worker, the page loads correctly.

For reference, i'm using Caddy as reverse proxy.

Steps to reproduce

Can't reproduce, probably it happens only if you change the env variables after a first docker-compose up -d

Environment

Production

Version

Self-hosted

Same issue with NGINX as a reverse proxy on self-hosted 2024.12.1

Its cool, that you already identified, that its a service worker problem. Therefore it can't really be a webserver/HTTP cache problem imho, but rather a cache invalidation problem inside the service worker.

Do you know where in the source code one could easily disable the service worker for self-hosted installations? At least this would fix that annoying bug for the time being.

@LordSimal no i wasn't able to find a way to disable them in the source code, in the meanwhile i'm using a Chrome extension https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/block-service-workers/ceokjgeibfjfcboemhdpkdalankbmnej?hl=en that blocks them

it looks like they are using workbox as the lib to write the service worker logic

Maybe commenting out this config block could help, but I don't know how to trigger a rebuild of the web app
