I’m running into issues setting up a machine to serve Tandoor Recipes from a sub-path (same as all my other services, which is why I’d rather not change it to a subdomain or root path):
-
I tried following the official instructions for sub-path nginx configuration, but just ended up with a HTTP 400 error and no debugging output at all in
journalctl -f. The relevant configuration:extraConfig = '' proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Script-Name ${config.services.tandoor-recipes.extraConfig.SCRIPT_NAME}; proxy_cookie_path / ${config.services.tandoor-recipes.extraConfig.SCRIPT_NAME}; ''; -
Even if I specify
SCRIPT_NAMEthe static content is still served from/static, not from${config.services.tandoor-recipes.extraConfig.SCRIPT_NAME}/static/. This seems like a bug, but since this seems to be how the upstream package works, I guess I have to work around it. -
If I also set
STATIC_URL = "${config.services.tandoor-recipes.extraConfig.SCRIPT_NAME}/static/"it fixes the URLs to static content, but the server seems to reject them, returning HTTP 404 for all of them. -
Setting
DEBUG = "1"breaks because of a missing Python dependency. -
I had a look at several similar issues (like this one), and couldn’t work out what was wrong based on those.
The relevant parts of /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:
{
services = {
nginx = {
enable = true;
recommendedGzipSettings = true;
recommendedOptimisation = true;
recommendedProxySettings = true;
recommendedTlsSettings = true;
virtualHosts."${config.networking.fqdn}" = {
forceSSL = true;
locations = {
"${config.services.tandoor-recipes.extraConfig.SCRIPT_NAME}/" = {
proxyPass = "http://${toString config.services.tandoor-recipes.address}:${toString config.services.tandoor-recipes.port}";
};
};
useACMEHost = config.networking.domain;
};
};
tandoor-recipes = {
enable = true;
extraConfig = {
SCRIPT_NAME = "/tandoor";
STATIC_URL = "${config.services.tandoor-recipes.extraConfig.SCRIPT_NAME}/static/";
TIMEZONE = "Pacific/Auckland";
};
};
};
}
