Fix Edge3 provider navigation with webserver base_url configuration

[dheerajturaga]

The Edge3 provider's BrowserRouter was not respecting the Airflow
webserver.base_url configuration, causing navigation links to generate
absolute paths from root instead of properly prefixed paths. This
resulted in 404 errors when Airflow is deployed with a base URL prefix
(e.g., my_company.com/airflow).

Problem:

• Edge3 provider pages were navigating to /plugin/edge_worker instead of /airflow/plugin/edge_worker
• This broke navigation in deployments where nginx redirects traffic from my_company.com/airflow to localhost:8080
• The issue was in JobsPage.tsx:94 where RouterLink generated links without the base URL prefix

Can you help me which properties you were setting to make this working with an external nginx? I attempted to fix but got this:

I was setting export AIRFLOW__API__BASE_URL=/af and export AIRFLOW__EDGE__API_URL=http://localhost:8080/af/edge_worker/v1/rpcap and restarted edge worker and API server.

After this I created a nginx config like

    server {
        if ($http_referer ~ ^https?://localhost:9000/af/) {
            rewrite ^ /af$uri;
        }
        location /af/ {
            proxy_pass http://192.168.31.176:28080/;
        }
    }

and started a docker with docker run -p 9000:80 -v $home/Workspace/airflow_review/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro nginx

Was able to log and and browse in http://localhost:9000 but not having the edge plugin calls working. they responded generated requests on nginx with:
172.17.0.1 - - [29/Sep/2025:21:27:35 +0000] "GET /edge_worker/ui/worker HTTP/1.1" 404 22 "http://localhost:9000/af/plugin/edge_worker" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/140.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" "-"

My usual settings in prod are:

AIRFLOW__API__BASE_URL=https://my_company.com/airflow/
AIRFLOW__CORE__EXECUTION_API_SERVER_URL=https://my_company.com/airflow/execution/
AIRFLOW__EDGE__API_URL=https://my_company.com/airflow/edge_worker/v1/rpcapi

But Im not sucessfull in getting the Edge worker/Jobs page opened

@jscheffl I fixed this.

Configuration used to launch nginx:

FROM nginx:alpine
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
EXPOSE 8080

events {
    worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
    server {
        listen 8080;
        server_name <hostname>;

        location /airflow {
            proxy_pass http://<localhost>:28080;
            proxy_set_header Host $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;
        }
    }
}

Launch nginx after you have started up breeze with edge executor

docker build -f Dockerfile.nginx -t airflow-nginx . && docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name airflow-nginx airflow-nginx

Kill and re-launch the api-server and edge worker in breeze with the following settings

export AIRFLOW__API__BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080/airflow/
export AIRFLOW__CORE__EXECUTION_API_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:8080/airflow/execution/
export AIRFLOW__EDGE__API_URL=http://localhost:8080/airflow/edge_worker/v1/rpcapi

Looks good. Just like a mini-nit. then I think we can merge.

Sorry took a moment until I had fiddled around making an nginx instance really working

@jscheffl ongoing static check issue on main?

[jscheffl]

Thanks for the fix! Fail in CI of static check is unrelated, therefore merging.
