Chronograf: [Feature Request] Ability to host under path other than the default '/'

[lahma]

I couldn't find neither documentation about this being possible nor the code path that would read some sort of configuration value for web app's base path.

Use case: I want to serve web apps using nginx reverse proxy (SSL and authentication done by nginx) and configure nginx to proxy requests from /chronograf to somehost:8888 . This is not possible at the moment as all served urls are hard coded to start with '/'. So nginx fails to find resources like https://myserver/style.css , correct path would be https://myserver/chronograf/styles.css .

Hi there @lahma, thanks for writing in. We _very_ much want to support this. We've placed this into our 1.2.0-beta1 milestone to be completed in the next two weeks.

Essentially, we'll have an option to allow the server to run under an arbitrary path.

Having the same setup as @lahma I'm really waiting for this. When will the alpha Docker image support this? 😄

[timraymond]

@lahma @curry684 This should be available in our next release (1.2.0-beta1). The flag that controls will be --basepath and should be set to something like --basepath /chronograf. Thanks for the suggestion! Enjoy!

Edit: added version number

[lahma]

I guess there's no environment variable yet that would make Docker usage without altering Dockerfile possible?

[goller]

@lahma That's totally an oversight. I've just created #819 and will merge soon. The variable will be BASE_PATH

[goller]

Ok @lahma, #819 is merged. BASE_PATH is now in quay.io/influxdb/chronograf:latest

Verified to be working correctly in my docker setup with custom path behind Nginx, thanks @goller!

[lahma]

Also verified, works great using Docker now. Thank you @goller for the fast develivery!

@curry684 @lahma Excellent!
