Verified feature request does not already exist?

💻

Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I want to run the web application under a specific root path at a server that hosts many applications.

At the moment, this does not seem to be supported at all.

I managed to get as far as running the web application (without server, although the server API is made available under the same root path), but the browser client is still directing to the wrong location.

My level of experience with Vite/webpack/... is near zero (never worked in frontend), but I would be willing to learn and implement this feature with some guidance (even if it means a lot of effort/touching a lot of code).

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

As a starting point, I'd like to configure the root path somewhere at build time, so that all of the following respects that:

navigation
server URL
...

Teaching and learning

This is for self-hosters that don't want to create a dedicated TLS certificate for Actual Budget, more like local/LAN-only setups.

Documentation for building a custom Docker image needs to be created, so that people know how to do it.
