How to use a proxy / baseUrl?

[code-and-more-2025]

My setup:

Apache SSL Proxy is running on port 1234 with TLS 1.3
Apache forwards to 127.0.0.1 port 8080 (podman container with WikiDocs).

Expected behavior:

Click on login button calls "https://example.com:1234/homepage?auth"

Actual behavior:

Click on login button calls "http://127.0.0.1:8080/homepage?auth"

Cause:

From the podman apps perspective apache calls service with "http://127.0.0.1:8080".

Solution:

Do not detect path, set baseUrl in app and use "$baseUrl/homepage?auth"

Issue:

href="<?= $DOC->URL."?auth" ?>"

Alternative: use relative paths "/homepage?auth"
or better "http://127.0.0.1:8080/custompath/homepage?auth" -> "/custompath/homepage?auth"

Hint: setting button works, as it does not use path parsing.

href="<?= $APP->PATH ?>settings.php"

Is this already supported? Do you know a workaround?

Thanks a lot!

I created an issue with exactly this issue: #268

I did some more reseach (see the issue) and the outcome is that it uses the host header from the request, so if you set this correctly, it should work. In nginx, the working configuration looks like:

# Wikidocs
server {
    listen      443 ssl;
    server_name wiki.mydomain.com;
    include conf.d/ssl.conf;

    location / {
        proxy_pass              http://wikidocs:80;
        proxy_set_header        Host $host;
        proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Host $host;
        proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
        client_max_body_size    0;
    }
}
