WAX615 portal access behind Traefik and X-Forwarded-Prefix header

Hi community!

 

I'm looking to access my Cloud Managed WiFi 6 (WAX615) management portal behind a Traefik proxy. Address looks like my.example.com/node with node being where traefik serves the specific access poin

 

Traefik is correctly setup with a Path(`my.example.com`) && PathPrefix(`/node`) rule and a StripPrefix(`/node`) middleware, however only the html page is served (200) but all resources are not containing the prefix hence they are missing (404). The header X-Forwarded-Prefix: '/node' which is added to the request forwarded by Trafeik seems to be ignored by the UI.

It works perfectly with a dedicated ap.example.com address with everything at the root.

 

I did not find a place in the Web UI to setup something like this.

 

Is there any way to achieve this kind of reserse proxy setup ?

 

Thanks

    Nothing like that - in fact not in almost any random Web application.

    It's some harder work, including trial-and-error to reverse-proxy-enable an existing non-basic Web UI.
