 # Reverse Proxies
 
+## General configuration
+
+1. Set `[server] ROOT_URL = https://git.example.com/` in your `app.ini` file.
+2. Make the reverse-proxy pass `https://git.example.com/foo` to `http://gitea:3000/foo`.
+3. Make sure the reverse-proxy not decode the URI, the request `https://git.example.com/a%2Fb` should be passed as `http://gitea:3000/a%2Fb`.
+4. Make sure `Host` and `X-Fowarded-Proto` headers are correctly passed to Gitea to make sure Gitea sees the real URL being visited.
+
+### Use a sub-path
+
+Usually it's **not recommended** to put Gitea in a sub-path, it's not widely used and may have some issues in rare cases.
+
+If you really need to do so, to make Gitea work with sub-path (eg: `https://common.example.com/gitea/`),
+here are the extra requirements besides the general configuration above:
+
+1. Use `[server] ROOT_URL = https://common.example.com/gitea/` in your `app.ini` file.
+2. Make the reverse-proxy pass `https://common.example.com/gitea/foo` to `http://gitea:3000/foo`.
+3. If you'd like to use container registry, the container registry uses a fixed sub-path `/v2` in the root, which is unchangeable and required by container registry standard.
+   - Make reverse-proxy pass `https://common.example.com/v2` to `http://gitea:3000/v2`.
+   - Make sure the URI and headers are also correctly passed (see the general configuration above).

-### Resolving Error: 413 Request Entity Too Large
-
-This error indicates nginx is configured to restrict the file upload size,
-it affects attachment uploading, form posting, package uploading and LFS pushing, etc.
-You can fine tune the `client_max_body_size` option according to [nginx document](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#client_max_body_size).

 ## Nginx with a sub-path
 
 In case you already have a site, and you want Gitea to share the domain name, you can setup Nginx to serve Gitea under a sub-path by adding the following `server` section inside the `http` section of `nginx.conf`:
 
 ```
 server {
-    listen 80;
-    server_name git.example.com;

-The container registry uses a fixed sub-path `/v2` which can't be changed.
