Description

This introduces some changes mainly to the frontend (plus the construction of manifest.json in the backend) that allows setting a relative base path via the environment variable (or, in the context of the docker build process, the build argument) WEBUI_BASE_PATH.

Please note: I am not familiar with svelte at all, and it feels like there might be a much simpler solution than what I did here -- however, I've used this branch to deploy a working instance behind a standard reverse proxy configuration (in this case Apache):

ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /chat http://example.com:8077
ProxyPassReverse /chat http://example.com:8077

such that the interface is available at https://original.example.com/chat.

Related to #1162.

Unfortunately I won't have time to put much more effort towards this, maybe this can be useful to whoever comes up with a proper implementation of this feature eventually. :-)

Changelog Entry

Added

Docker build argument WEBUI_BASE_PATH which controls the relative base path used in the built frontend (plus in manifest.json).
