When I install Passbolt\_docker and configure it to use a subdirectory, the inital redirect is wrong: # Steps to reproduce: Download `curl -LO https://download.passbolt.com/ce/docker/docker-compose-ce.yaml` Edit it according to the [documentation](https://www.passbolt.com/docs/hosting/configure/environment-reference/#application-configuration) for running in a subdirectory: ```auto 21c21,27 < APP_FULL_BASE_URL: https://passbolt.local --- > # External URL as seen by users > APP_FULL_BASE_URL: "https://passbolt.intern/passbolt" > APP_BASE_URL: "/passbolt" > APP_DEFAULT_LOCALE: "de_DE" > APP_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE: "Europe/Berlin" > PASSBOLT_SSL_FORCE: "false" > PASSBOLT_SECURITY_PROXIES_ACTIVE: "true" 39,40c45 < - 80:80 < - 443:443 --- > - "127.0.0.1:8081:80" ``` resulting docker file is: ```auto cat docker-compose-ce.yaml.new services: db: image: mariadb:10.11 restart: unless-stopped environment: MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD: "true" MYSQL_DATABASE: "passbolt" MYSQL_USER: "passbolt" MYSQL_PASSWORD: "P4ssb0lt" volumes: - database_volume:/var/lib/mysql passbolt: image: passbolt/passbolt:latest-ce #Alternatively you can use rootless: #image: passbolt/passbolt:latest-ce-non-root restart: unless-stopped depends_on: - db environment: # External URL as seen by users APP_FULL_BASE_URL: "https://passbolt.intern/passbolt" APP_BASE_URL: "/passbolt" APP_DEFAULT_LOCALE: "de_DE" APP_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE: "Europe/Berlin" PASSBOLT_SSL_FORCE: "false" PASSBOLT_SECURITY_PROXIES_ACTIVE: "true" DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_HOST: "db" DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_USERNAME: "passbolt" DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_PASSWORD: "P4ssb0lt" DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_DATABASE: "passbolt" volumes: - gpg_volume:/etc/passbolt/gpg - jwt_volume:/etc/passbolt/jwt command: [ "/usr/bin/wait-for.sh", "-t", "0", "db:3306", "--", "/docker-entrypoint.sh", ] ports: - "127.0.0.1:8081:80" #Alternatively for non-root images: # - 80:8080 # - 443:4433 volumes: database_volume: gpg_volume: jwt_volume: ``` Fire it up: `docker compose -f docker-compose-ce.yaml up db`, wait for the Database to be initialised, Then `docker compose -f docker-compose-ce.yaml up -d`. Result: Container starts and Passbolt is running and listening on `127.0.0.1:8081` NB: Currently `passbolt/passbolt:latest-ce` is `passbolt/passbolt:5.10.0-1-ce` # Observered behavoir When I access passbolt via `wget` I get: ```auto get -O - http://127.0.0.1:8081 --2026-03-18 17:59:16-- http://127.0.0.1:8081/ Connecting to 127.0.0.1:8081... connected.
