Description
Quickwit is currently not fully compatible with reverse proxy setups like Envoy that introduce URL prefixes. This can result in issues with relative URLs and routing. Possible solutions:
- Use Relative URLs: Modify Quickwit to generate and process relative URLs, which would adapt automatically to the URL prefix introduced by the reverse proxy.
- Introduce a
--base-pathParameter: Quickwit could introduce a command-line parameter (e.g., --base-path) similar to Jaeger's--query.base-pathoption. This parameter would allow users to specify a base path that Quickwit should consider when generating URLs.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First clarify whether relative URLs or a --base-path parameter is preferred, then trace Quickwit's URL generation and routing behind an Envoy prefix; done means links and routes work correctly under a configured reverse-proxy path.
