Description

On page https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/reverse-proxies/ the guide for Caddy setting subpath reverse proxy does not work on me, which is

git.example.com {
    proxy /git/ http://localhost:3000 # Note: Trailing Slash after /git/
}

took me some time to figure out it should be

git.example.com {
    proxy /git/ http://localhost:3000  {  # Note: Trailing Slash after /git/ 
          without /git
    }
}

I'm using Caddy 0.11.0 . Let me know if this only happens on me or the doc needs update.

Mine is working perfectly with caddy as a reverse proxy, I do have some custom settings though so I will have to get that config off my server sometime when I get a chance.

Additionally I can't seem to get dynamic things working (including the "Remember Me" box on the login page) using a Caddy reverse proxy. Tried all kinds of different setups.

@mkishere What is the value of ROOT_URL in your config file ? Make sure to have it config like specified at the end of doc when using sub-path proxy (https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/reverse-proxies/#using-caddy-with-a-sub-path-as-a-reverse-proxy-1)

I remember I did set the ROOT_URL with /git/ at the end as the document told, and still gitea return 404 for requests that prefix with the /git/ path.

But since I have switched settings (switching from subpath to subdomain), I'll need some time to reproduce and stick the logs to here.

EDIT: Just tried again setting ROOT_URL to http://domain/git/ , path prefix with /git/ requests to gitea still returns 404. The index page generates links with /git/ prefix though.

Excerpt from curl localhost:3000 :

<script src="/git/vendor/plugins/jquery/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script src="/git/vendor/plugins/jquery.areyousure/jquery.are-you-sure.js"></script>

Log (from docker-compose logs gitea):
