Reverse proxy to an url, not sub-domain (server.net/hass instead of hass.server.net)

Configuration
1

Hello,

I cannot manage to set up my reverse proxy to home-assistant, following the Apache2 guide and just changing the root context to a sub context (/hass in my case).

Did any one achieve that?

Thanks!

Any one? :smiley:

Did you try some Google time :wink: Here’s one possible hint, and here’s another.

Actually, I’m not exactly a newcomer when it comes to reverseproxying stuff to subfolders :wink:

So i know how to do it, and actually the links you pointed me to (thanks by the way!) are merely describing the normal way.

But I think it’s just not possible as I just noticed home-assistant doesn’t have a configurable web root.

Hi guys. I’m running an apache server as an HTTPS proxy and I figured out a few workarounds for issues encountered when configuring Apache. This configuration addresses the following issues:

  • External proxy to internal IP
  • HTTP redirect to HTTPS configuration
  • Wrong IP Address showed in login notifications within Home Assistant
  • Websockets don’t work properly
  • Addons don’t work

        # This will enable the Rewrite capabilities
        RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
        # This checks to make sure the connection is not already HTTPS
        RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]
