Hi everyone, I’ve been experimenting with a Reverse Proxy (Traefik) and been succesful in placing my whole gateway in a sudomain ([http://ignition.mydomain.com](http://ignition.mydomain.com)). The Reverse Proxy handles the TLS and automatically redirects http to https. I can get to the designer, vision launcher and any perspective site. Using Traefik, it seems the necessary headers are automatically added and the only thing I had to do was implement the main/statusping rewrite (see here: [Hard coded request for HTTP in Designer Launcher even if gateway set up for HTTPS - #9 by tom1](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/hard-coded-request-for-http-in-designer-launcher-even-if-gateway-set-up-for-https/34027/9)? - This because I’m using 8.0 and not 8.1 I assume. So far so good. Now, I have also been trying to host ignition under a subpath instead of subdomain. So rather than **[http://ignition.mydomain.com](http://ignition.mydomain.com)** I would like to use **[http://mydomain.com/ignition](http://mydomain.com/ignition)** This I can’t get to work. I’ve done this for a bunch of other web servers, eg. an Apache2 server. On those, I just need to strip out the prefix “/ignition” and make sure that the server knows that it is serving from the particular path (ie. /ignition in this case). I cannot find a similar solution under ignition though. I had a play with the webserver settings for ‘public HTTP address’, where i added ‘[mydomain.com/ignition](http://mydomain.com/ignition)’ but it doesn’t seem to make any difference. Has anyone any experience with this? Kind regards K ---

As of today, the _Public Address_ is only parsed for the server name/address. We’re not parsing/consuming any paths submitted in that field yet… I can create a ticket to look into this–I had tried just what you’re attempting (with Traefik+Docker) long ago (before joining IA) and ran into the same block. ---

Thanks for the update - makes sense. As an example: we run dokuwiki on our server and make it accessible through our reverse proxy (Traefik). In our case, Dokuwiki sits on an Apache2 server. In the configuration section of Dokuwiki, I just had to fill out the server url (ie. “[http://mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com)”) and under the base directory i put “/mywiki/” . In Traefik I just have to strip out the prefix “/mywiki”. I think the difference with Ignition is that you don’t have a field for the base directory and as you said, you can’t just add it to the server path - which is what i was hoping for. See Dokuwiki screenshot. I’m still hopeful that there might be another option in Traefik, like redirecting or rewriting the path. The problem with that is that I really need to know a lot more of all the various endpoints and put rules in for all of them. Any tips are welcome!! 🙂 Kind regards Koen ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/3/c3e752648678f47d45be57b6da9a9c7c164a967d.png) ---

I was trying to do the same thing using a subpath and stumbled upon this thread. Is there any plan to support this? ---

I have also been trying to do this and am getting nowhere fast. Anybody got this working? ---

No, still not possible, AIUI.
