Hey,
Previously I was running Planka locally and it was working perfectly. Now, I'm trying to migrate to a server. I can host it on the main site e.g. http://mysite.com, but I'm not sure how to host it on http://mysite.com/planka.

I edited BASE_URL=http://mysite.com/planka in docker-compose.yml and here is my ngnix config:

upstream planka {
   server localhost:3000;
   keepalive 32;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name http://mysite.com;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/planka-access.log;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/planka-error.log error;

    # Make sure to allow socket.io connections
    location ~* \.io {
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        client_max_body_size 50M;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;
        proxy_buffers 256 16k;
        proxy_buffer_size 16k;
        client_body_timeout 60;
        send_timeout 300;
        lingering_timeout 5;
        proxy_connect_timeout 1d;
        proxy_send_timeout 1d;
        proxy_read_timeout 1d;
        proxy_pass http://planka;
    }

    location /planka {
        client_max_body_size 50M;
        proxy_set_header Connection "";
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;
        proxy_buffers 256 16k;
        proxy_buffer_size 16k;
        proxy_read_timeout 600s;
        proxy_cache_revalidate on;
        proxy_cache_min_uses 2;
        proxy_cache_use_stale timeout;
        proxy_cache_lock on;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_pass http://planka;
    }
}

I'm getting correct GET requests in the browser e.g.: GET http://mysite.com/planka/loading.css, but I don't have such files on the server when I curl localhost:3000/planka/loading.css. However there are available at curl localhost:3000/loading.css

I also tried: server_name http://mysite.com/planka; and location /

Can you help me?

@0marcrem for what it's worth, I've set this up in a subdirectory, and and the key difference in my configuration is the rewrite command; once I added this, it worked without issue:

location /planka {
    # Try this rewrite command 
    rewrite ^/planka/(.*)$ /$1 break;
    # ... Rest of settings
}
