deploy behind a proxy under sub path

[spike83]

Is it possible to run mapfish-print docker behind a proxy and under a sub path.
Say we want to have it under DOMAIN/print or similar.

Is this intended and possible?
How to instruct mapfish-print to render links on the UI including the sub path?

We do it, then it's possible, but it's not easy. We should at least:

• Update the path in the web.xml file.
• Run cd /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/ && mkdir print && cp index.html favicon.ico mapfish_transparent.png print/ to copy some files in a new print folder.

Thx @sbrunner this is the current start command I'm using.

I noticed that liveness and readines probes need to change to my prefix as well.

I also think this could be build into the start script depending on an env variable CONTEXT_PATH or something along these lines. I can create a PR if you would consider merging this in.

              sed -i -e 's|<url-pattern>/metrics</url-pattern>|<url-pattern>/print/metrics</url-pattern>|g' -e 's|<url-pattern>/metrics/\*</url-pattern>|<url-pattern>/print/metrics/*</url-pattern>|g' -e 's|<url-pattern>/print/\*</url-pattern>|<url-pattern>/print/print/*</url-pattern>|g' -e 's|<url-pattern>/sec/print/\*</url-pattern>|<url-pattern>/print/sec/print/*</url-pattern>|g' /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml
              cd /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/
              mkdir print 
              mv index.html favicon.ico mapfish_transparent.png  print/
              sed -i 's|<base href="/"||g' print/index.html
              sed -i '/<\/head>/i <base href="\/print\/">' print/index.html
              /usr/local/tomcat/bin/docker-start-print
