I want to use passbolt in a subdirectory https://myhost/passbolt.

I have docker installation of passbolt/passbolt:latest-ce but I also tried passbolt/passbolt:4.2.0-1-ce.
I set docker env:

      APP_BASE: "/passbolt"
      APP_FULL_BASE_URL: "https://myhost/passbolt"

The problem I encounter is that when I try to open https://myhost/passbolt it redirects me to https://myhost/passbolt/auth/login?redirect=%2F which is a blank page.

In the log I see:

The installation works fine if I use a subdomain instead of a subdirectory.

Hello @treadstone and welcome to the forum!
Have you tied removing the folder from APP_FULL_BASE_URL?

Hello @Termindiego25, thank you for your reply.
Yes, I did try to remove the folder from APP_FULL_BASE_URL but it didn’t help.
Also the documentation says that in this case APP_FULL_BASE_URL should also contain the folder.

Hello @treadstone,

Can you try to set:
APP_FULL_BASE_URL: "https://myhost" without any slash at the end?

Also, could you mount into the passbolt conf this block? that should help

  location ~* \.(jpe?g|woff|woff2|ttf|gif|png|bmp|ico|css|js|ejs|json|pdf|zip|htm|html|docx?|xlsx?|pptx?|txt|wav|swf|svg|woff2|avi|mp\d)$ {
  access_log on;
  log_not_found on;
  rewrite ^/([^/]+)/([img|css|js|fonts|locales]+)/(.*)$ /$2/$3 break;
  rewrite ^/([^/]+)/favicon.ico$ /favicon.ico break;
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}

Thanks! This helped. I can access the login page (didn’t have a chance to test the full functionality).

For anyone else having the same problem this is how to make passbolt accessible from a subdirectory (URL path prefix).

APP_BASE: "/passbolt"
APP_FULL_BASE_URL: "https://domain.com"

Edit the file /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/nginx-passbolt.conf

server {

  listen 80;
  listen [::]:80;

  # Managed by Passbolt
  server_name _;

  client_body_buffer_size     100K;
  client_header_buffer_size   1K;
  client_max_body_size        5M;

  client_body_timeout   10;
  client_header_timeout 10;
  keepalive_timeout     5 5;
  send_timeout          10;

  root /usr/share/php/passbolt/webroot;
  index index.php;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/passbolt-error.log info;
  access_log /var/log/nginx/passbolt-access.log;

  # Managed by Passbolt
  include /etc/nginx/snippets/passbolt-ssl.conf;

  # This block is to make passbolt work in /passbolt subdirectory
