1. The problem I’m having:
I need to do a backend rebuild sometime soon and my current convention for getting access to websites is using the reverse_proxy function similar to the attached. What I’m wanting to do is access my services via subpath instead of subdomains.
https://staff.dragonhowl.games/kanban instead of https://kanban.dragonhowl.games or https://kanban.staff.dragonhowl.games
The problem I’m having here is from my understanding subpaths are simply not built for this and reverse_proxy doesn’t really do what I’m wanting it to do. I had a look at the rewrite argument and that allows me to access a particular service with a subpath, but if that service has it’s own path then it breaks trying to access it.
What I’m wanting overall is for the end users in my team to have an easy to read and convenient way to access my services and having to do long convoluted subdomains like kanban.staff.dragonhowl.games is super not pleasing to look at.
Would hugely appreciate it if someone has a solution for me since I’m kinda stuck.
