How to run the WebUI under a given path?

[tuxwise]

I'd like to use the WebUI under a given path, e.g. http(s)://smarthomeserver/ccu, since the device is running other software, too.

What's the cleanest way to configure this? (nginx already proxying to localhost:8085, but debmatic is still assuming the root / as path, so after login, I'm running into issues).

Looking for the same!

@tuxwise did you find a solution?

No, I'm acknowledging this isn't a major issue, so I was only leaving it here hoping for a reply some time in the (likely) more distant future.

Of course one obvious solution would be:

• run debmatic under any port, e.g. in /etc/debmatic/webui.conf: var.debmatic_webui_http_port = 8080
• proxy it e.g. in nginx (here with subdomain):

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name debmatic.host.lan;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://host.lan:8080/;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}
