Hello.

I'm trying to use Pangolin in front of Appwrite. As you can see in their Docker compose file:

If traffic is requesting /, use the container appwrite:80.
If traffic is requesting /console, use the container appwrite-console:80.
If traffic is requesting /v1/realtime, use appwrite-realtime:80

How do I achieve this in Pangolin?

I don't think you can currently, but this would be a great feature - it is the biggest gap for me between pangolin vs cloudflare tunnels.

Is there any way for us to push this to the roadmap? Quiet a couple of my apps require this kind of setup or it just doesn't work.

This probably gets into some intricacies of traefik handling. I ran into this as well when I was setting up headscale. I wanted a gui at the /admin page. In the end the simplest solution for me was a tiny NGINX alpine sidecar.

Point the resource to the NGINX and use a config file to direct "/" to one container and "/admin" to the other.

My files are a mess but I will try to share this workaround when I get back to a pc.

Sample of compose.yml that contains the two services that will run at the same domain

Hi! Yes we want to do this soon and I actually will put it on the roadmap. I think this is a duplicate though so I am going to close this.

@oschwartz10612 Been using pangolin for a while, its awesome. This would be the most important feature addition for me, by far.
