Description

Describe the Feature You Want

I want to run Tilt behind a reverse proxy, for example, having it run at https://dev.example.com/tilt/

Current Behavior

At the moment this is not possible because:

  • Static assets are always fetched at /static (i.e., not at /tilt/static)
  • Navigation within the UI rewrites the browser's URL (i.e., /r/service/overview instead of /tilt/r/service/overview)
Why Do You Want This?

My application runs many services, and I'm using Tilt to orchestrate them. I'm exposing the dev environment from a remote virtual machine behind a reverse-proxy. It would be very helpful to have Tilt accessible from the same reverse-proxy (e.g., at /tilt) so that we can inspect the logs.

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by tracing how the UI builds static-asset URLs and navigation URLs, then determine where a configured /tilt base path would apply. Done means Tilt can be served behind a reverse proxy at a path such as /tilt/, with assets and navigation retaining that prefix.
