Running shields instance behind reverse proxy breaks page URLs

[voodoodror]

Are you experiencing an issue with...

• shields.io
• My own instance
• badge-maker NPM package

🪲 Description

As part of effort in securing my shields server using nginx reverse proxy (i.e. with queryparameter validation), it looks like page URLs are set with a slash:

href="/.....' 
src="/.....' 
data="/.....' 

and as a result I'm unable to use badges nor links. Tried also rewriting the URLs using nginx without any success.

💡 Possible Solution

Unfortunately, I didn't find any workaround.

Could you explain why the slash is causing a problem?

@paulmelnikow Sorry, my bad. forgot to mention that I used different path on nginx for reverse proxy, instead of root folder, it redirects to www.myurl.com/shields/

Is it just the frontend that's broken? You could try setting GATSBY_BASE_URL before running the build.

Why do you need to host it from a subfolder?

@paulmelnikow I will be trying GATSBY_BASE_URL and let you know. Thanks!
