Add lighttpd reverse proxy config to the wiki

[jonesaaronj]

How about adding the reverse proxy config for lighttpd. It took me some time to figure it out and thought others might want it too.

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/glances" {
    url.rewrite-once = ( "^(/glances)$" => "$1/" )
    proxy.server = ("" => (( "host" => "localhost", "port" => 61208 )))
    proxy.header = ( "map-urlpath" => ( "/glances" => "" ) )
}

Thanks @jonesaaronj

Just add it to the Wiki: https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/wiki/Reverse-proxy-to-the-Glances-Web-UI#lighttpd

@jonesaaronj I added this into /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/ and made a symlink to /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/
its sort of working because when I view the source the URL I get:

But the page is totally blank

Hitting it on 61208 like normal works fine

Looks like the Javascript isnt loading?

I've tried adding
server.document-root = "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/glances/outputs/static/public"
But no luck yet. How do you get Lighttps to use the right directory for the javascript?

Im piggybacking the Lighttpd installation from my PiHole

I ended up just listening on a different port. Rewriting the /glances was also messing up the javascript path

$SERVER["socket"] == ":88" {
    server.document-root        = "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/glances/outputs/static/public"
    proxy.server = ("" => (( "host" => "localhost", "port" => 61208 )))
}
