Support for --root-path argument

[GokulNC]

I am looking to add a prefix path for code-server instead of serving it via /.
This is to ensure that I can route VS code via my regular port 80 website, but with a prefix (like abc.com/code ) by linking it to my proxy-server to map it to code-server's port and path.

Basically, I am looking for something like this:
https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/advanced/behind-a-proxy/

If there's already a way to achieve this, please let me know. Thanks!

As of now, without this, I am getting 404: Not Found error when visiting abc.com/code since it redirects to abc.com/login

(My reverse proxy-server strips the /code prefix before sending it the code-server's port)

OK. So if I explicitly go to /code/login, it works after logging-in as intended.
So is it possible to fix this initial redirection issue?

Also, only /code/ works, /code does not work (after login).

Hmmm...I believe this already works with something like Caddy. Here's an example:

1. create a Caddyfile

http://localhost:8082/code/* {
  uri strip_prefix /code
  reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8080
}

2. start code-server with code-server
3. caddy run to start Caddy
4. Go to http://localhost:8082/code/login and then login
5. Access code-server like normal

Is this what you want or am I missing something?

fix this initial redirection issue

I wasn't sure about this part but maybe that's something we can add to the Caddyfile

Thanks. I use traefik to achieve the same.

The issue seems to be with traefik, sorry.
This is the redirection issue I was talking about:
traefik/traefik#5159

For other people looking to solve this, as a temporary solution, on my traefik server's routes.toml file, I have added the following middleware:

    [http.middlewares.code-slash-suffix.redirectRegex]
      regex = "/code$"
      replacement = "/code/"

Ah, good to know! Happy you found a workaround at least and hoping it gets fixed in traefik soon 🤞
