Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr/issues/475

I would like to modify the default url that webvirtmgr is running at.

Instead of : http://[ hostname ]

I would like: http://[ hostname ]/webvirtmgr

I thought I could just modify the nginx location directives, but that did not work. Do I need to update the URL in webvirtmgr's cinfiguration some where? Please keep in mind I am an expert with apache, but new to nginx.

# nginx.conf

....

     # location /static/ {
     location /webvirtmgr/static/ {
            root /usr/share/nginx/webvirtmgr/webvirtmgr;
            expires max;
    }

     # location / {
    /webvirtmgr/location {
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-for $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $remote_addr;
            proxy_connect_timeout 600;
            proxy_read_timeout 600;
            proxy_send_timeout 600;
            client_max_body_size 1024M;
    }
