Yes - it's a bit of a terminology confusion, but: the "/path" part is
required (or the option is not accepted) *and* the "/path" must not end in
"/" (or the double-slashes produced cause the output to break).

So if you want your "repos/myRepo" as served by fossil, to appear to be
at "/base/myrepos/myRepo" when served by the public-facing web server
that hides fossil, then you would use "--baseurl http://whatever/base;.

The one (common?) case where --baseurl does not work, is exactly your
case: the public-facing web server just handles https but otherwise does
not change the url.

If you were using something like stunnel for https and spawning a new
"fossil" for each incoming request, you could use "fossil http --https"
But that is not available for "fossil server".

As it happens, it does not matter that "--https" and "--baseurl" do not
work in this case, because just setting the env-var does work.

Cheers,

f

It seems to enforce an ending '"/",
If I try and use it without the ending '/' - it doesnt seem to like it at
all:-

./fossil server --baseurl "https://fossil.mydomain.com:443; repos/myRepo
argument to --baseurl should be 'http://host/path' or 'https://host/path'

This worked perfectly - thanks Francis!

FYI (for anyone else who might be searching for a similar use case) - this
was to get a fossil server running on AWS EC2, behind one of their SSL load
balancers

"baseurl" must start with "http://; or "https://; (enforced in code),
and must not end in "/" (not enforced directly). It is good when you
are "reverse-proxying" the connection to a different part of the url
hierarchy. It is not good if you are just hiding behind https.

If the front-end is just a load balancer (with ssl termination), and
includes the "fossil.mydomain.com" Host: header in the requests that
get to fossil, then possibly

  HTTPS=on ./fossil server repos/myRepo

will cause it to Just Work for you.

That is -- ensure that then environment variable HTTPS has the value
"on" in the fossil process.

Cheers,

What is the full command line being used?
