## How to configure remark42 without a subdomain All README examples show configurations with remark42 on its own subdomain, i.e. `https://remark42.example.com`. However, it is possible and sometimes desirable to run remark42 without a subdomain, but just under some path, i.e. `https://example.com/remark42`. - The frontend URL looks like this: `s.src = 'https://example.com/remark42/web/embed.js;` - The backend `REMARK_URL` parameter will be `https://example.com/remark42` - And you also need to slightly modify the callback URL for the social media login API's: - Facebook Valid OAuth Redirect URIs: `https://example.com/remark42/auth/facebook/callback` - Google Authorized redirect URIs: `https://example.com/remark42/auth/google/callback` - Github Authorised callback URL: `https://example.com/remark42/auth/github/callback` ### docker-compose configuration Both Nginx and Caddy configuration below relies on remark42 available on hostname `remark42`, which is achieved by having `container_name: remark42` in docker-compose. Example `docker-compose.yaml`: ```yaml version: '2' services: remark42: image: umputun/remark42:latest container_name: remark42 restart: always environment: - REMARK_URL=https://example.com/remark42/ - SITE= - SECRET= - ADMIN_SHARED_ID= volumes: - ./data:/srv/var logging: options: max-size: "10m" max-file: "1" ``` ### Nginx configuration The `nginx.conf` would then look something like: ``` location /remark42/ { rewrite /remark42/(.*) /$1 break; proxy_pass http://remark42:8080/; // use internal docker name of remark42 container for proxy proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; } ``` ### Caddy configuration Example of Caddy configuration (`Caddyfile`) running remark42 service on `example.com/remark42/`: ```caddy example.com { gzip tls mail@example.com root /srv/www log /logs/access.log # remark42 proxy /remark42/ http://remark42:8080/ { without /remark42 transparent } } ```
