ReactJS App Subdomain
I have Coder working well with everything in my stack (Java and ReactJS), but the only issue I'm having is when trying to access a part of my ReactJS app that exists under a subdomain. For example. when running locally I'm able to do
localhost:5173 to get to a "Control Panel" version of the app, but then to get to another part I have to do subdomain.localhost:5173. I have no problems with the root (Control Panel) but I can't figure out how to get the subdomains to resolve. Not sure what config to post here since I'm new to Coder, but I can supply whatever is needed.13 Replies

Just to clarify, you're running something like
coder port-forward <ws> --tcp 5173:5173?
and localhost:5173 works fine, but not subdomain.localhost:5173? I would expect that to just work, so this might be a bug
(actually, if the app running on your workspace is programming the localhost subdomain by modifying /etc/hosts, then it makes sense this doesn't work out the box)
Do you know how your react app programs subdomain.localhost to point to your server?To clarify, I'm not actually using
localhost to access my apps. I'm. using my coder URL (eg. ****.try.coder.app:5173). It's when I try to access subdomain.****.try.coder.app that I have the issue. The ReactJS app actually just grabs the subdomain and displays a different section of the app, so technically not a real subdomain. As for coder port-forward, I have yet to get that to work. My workspace name for UI is RemoteFalconUI, but when I try to port forward, I always end up with an error. coder port-forward RemoteFalconUI --tcp 5173:5173
Encountered an error running "coder port-forward", see "coder port-forward --help" for more information
error: Resource not found or you do not have access to this resource
Update. I was finally able to get port-forward working. I tried a multitude of workspace names before finding out coder list will give the workspaces the CLI uses (which was user/workspace). With port-forward working I can now access all parts of the app.That's good to hear! Was it just that the workspace you were trying to port-forward owned by someone else?
that makes sense, also regarding the port-forwarding I would recommend configuring your own domain instead of relying on
try.coder.app!
and yeah, we don't support sub-subdomains for the port-forwarding as we're already using a wildcard domain for port-forwardingNo, I own it. I was just using the wrong workspace name.
you shouldn't need to specify the
user/ part when it's your workspace
are you logged in as the same user? coder whoamiYeah, I’m logged in as the same user. I did also notice I had a typo in my workspace name. When I was trying to port forward, I was spelling it without the typo. 🤦. So it does work without the user as well.
ah alright that does make sense
i was scared that we had a bug!
Nope, all good! Just user error on my part. I appreciate the follow up!
sounds good! i'll close this issue now that everything seems to be solved :-)
