Setup behind Reverse Proxies

WBO is served at the domain root. If you want to serve it at a different location you can do so by using a reverse proxy. Below are two example configurations for nginx and Apache, assuming you run wbo on localhost on port 5001 and want to expose it at /wbo.

Apache

First, you'll need to enable some apache modules :

sudo a2enmod rewrite proxy proxy_wstunnel proxy_http

Then add the following to your apache configuration, in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/yoursite.conf :

<Proxy http://localhost:5001>
	Allow from all
</Proxy>
RedirectMatch ^/wbo$ /wbo/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Connection} Upgrade [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} websocket [NC]
RewriteRule /wbo/(.*) ws://localhost:5001/$1  [P,L]
ProxyPass /wbo/ http://localhost:5001/
ProxyPassReverse /wbo/ http://localhost:5001/

Nginx

proxy_headers.conf:

proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header  Host $host;

proxy_http_version  1.1;
proxy_set_header    Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header    Connection $connection_upgrade;

Add this to your nginx.conf in the server block you want to use.

        location /wbo {
                include proxy_headers.conf;
        
                rewrite ^/wbo/(.*) /$1 break;
                proxy_pass      http://localhost:5001/;
        }

        location /wbo/socket.io {
                include proxy_headers.conf;
        
                proxy_pass      http://localhost:5001/socket.io;
        }
