Caddyfile help - Removing subdirectory / subfolder from url

[francislavoie]

Yeah, this is a common issue.

The "subfolder problem", OR, "why can't I reverse proxy my app into a subfolder?"

Have you ever tried to reverse proxy an app into its own little subfolder of your domain name? Makes things neat, doesn’t it? Using example.com/foo/ for one app, example.com/bar/ for another. If you’re coming here from one of the selfhosted communities, you might be thinking along the lines of example.com/sonarr/, example.com/radarr/ etc. Chances are, you’ve tried some configuration along these lines: example.com { redir /sonarr /sonarr/ handle_path /sonarr/* { reverse_proxy localhost…

The best solution is to just use subdomains for each service.

If you must, and you can get it to work with the service via base path config etc, the handle_path directive is the preferred one to use (shortest config).
