Code-server, port forwarding, absolute pathing

I have code-server hosted on my domain under

[domian.com]/vscode/jgantts/

[domian.com]/vscode/jgantts/

[domian.com]/vscode/jgantts/

[domian.com]/vscode/jgantts/. The port forwarding proxy is therefore

[domain.com]/vscode/jgantts/proxy/[portNumber]/

[domain.com]/vscode/jgantts/proxy/[portNumber]/

[domain.com]/vscode/jgantts/proxy/[portNumber]/

[domain.com]/vscode/jgantts/proxy/[portNumber]/

I'm having trouble getting the application I'm developing to work properly using the forwarded port. All of the absolute paths are wrong

A possible solution involving my setup with vite, is to set the vite base path in its config file. However, I believe the port can change? If so, the base path would need to change as well

Could someone confirm that my reasoning is correct? I'm not married to vite, but it is quite convenient

If your ws has a very long name, it doesn't work, the port, I'm also trying to make everything work from my domain

JGanttsOP•2/12/23, 7:48 PM

It's only 7 characters

JGanttsOP•2/12/23, 7:49 PM

I believe my issue is my understanding of vite. I've tried hard-coding the path with the port, and even with the port being constant I can't get it to work

error when I launch an application from vscode code server port proxy another domain and it doesn't

jinwolf2•2/12/23, 9:27 PM

I had the same error but I was able to temporarily solve it because of what this person said, I have two servers, one official and the other where I do my work environment tests and modify values, my jobs have 4 letters and the port works

I think the issue is your code-server setup, you should try running code-server on code.domain.comcode.domain.com and report if it works

subpath reverse proxying doesn't usually go well

JGanttsOP•2/13/23, 5:35 PM

Ooooh! Good idea, I’ll give that a shot

please don't post in other channels, I didn't answer because I don't know and it's likely the same for other staff members

JGanttsOP•2/15/23, 1:19 AM

I tried jgantts.[domain.com]jgantts.[domain.com] and I seen to have the same issue

JGanttsOP•2/15/23, 1:33 AM

https://jgantts.[domain.com]/proxy/5173/https://jgantts.[domain.com]/proxy/5173/ loads the initial HTML page, but nothing with absolute pathing

JGanttsOP•2/15/23, 1:34 AM

https://jgantts.[domain.com]:5173https://jgantts.[domain.com]:5173 doesn’t load at all

JGanttsOP•2/15/23, 1:35 AM

Would the issue perhaps be my server configuration? Maybe if I ran the app under sudo or something? Hmm sounds like a bad idea

edit: it also doesn't work either

JGanttsOP•2/15/23, 1:53 AM

[ip address]:5173 does work

JGanttsOP•2/15/23, 2:15 AM

I got it to work!

JGanttsOP•2/15/23, 2:16 AM

The issue was HTTPS and Caddy. Caddy automatically serves things using https, and even reroutes http to https, all by default. But when you start using weird ports, it doesn't serve the https properly

JGanttsOP•2/15/23, 2:18 AM

portion of my Caddyfile:

jgantts.[domain.com] {
  reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:1024
}

jgantts.[domain.com]:1030 {
  reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:5173
}

jgantts.[domain.com] {
  reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:1024
}

jgantts.[domain.com]:1030 {
  reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:5173
}

JGanttsOP•2/15/23, 2:19 AM

vite seems to like port 5173, that's consistently the port it starts on

JGanttsOP•2/15/23, 2:19 AM

et voilà

JGanttsOP•2/15/23, 2:21 AM

jgantts.[domain.com]:1030jgantts.[domain.com]:1030 loads my application!

JJGantts `https://jgantts.[domain.com]:5173` doesn’t load at all

Phorcys•2/15/23, 8:25 AM

that makes sense

JJGantts `jgantts.[domain.com]:1030` loads my application!

Phorcys•2/15/23, 8:26 AM

well yeah but then that totally misses the point of the proxy lol

Phorcys•2/15/23, 8:26 AM

the code-server proxy makes it so you don't have to expose ports

Phorcys•2/15/23, 8:27 AM

you need to configure vite to be served from that path

Phorcys•2/15/23, 8:27 AM

otherwise it won't know where it's at

JGanttsOP•2/15/23, 11:07 PM

To be honest I think I'm going to keep with my solution of opening a port. The only people on the server are me (with root access), my niece (she only needs one project with only static files rn), and my contractor (who I think would only be interested in stuff she and I were working on together)

JGanttsOP•2/15/23, 11:09 PM

At least for now. Vite doesn't want to cooperate, and the app I'm working on would (should? meh) have to be refactored a bit to work under /proxy/3000//proxy/3000/ as well

JGanttsOP•2/15/23, 11:10 PM

Love y'alls software. I just know that honest feedback is most useful; so I wanted to let you all know what one of your users's solutions was

Phorcys•2/16/23, 7:47 AM

yeah it's fine lol

Phorcys•2/16/23, 7:47 AM

all good if it suits you

Phorcys•2/20/23, 4:22 PM

marking as resolved
