W1M0R edited a comment on issue #1199: Provide mechanism for hosting in subdirs behind reverse proxies URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-fauxton/issues/1199#issuecomment-562820118 The method that worked for me was to let nginx proxy the /couchdb/_utils/ location to the npm version of fauxton running inside a docker container. All requests to _utils are thus not satisfied by the built-in couchdb fauxton, but instead by the standalone fauxton server. Here are some hints for the steps required to make this work. The NGINX configuration at `/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf`: ```nginx upstream couchdb { server app-couchdb:5984; } upstream fauxton { server app-fauxton:8000; } server { listen 80; server_name localhost; location /couchdb/_utils/ { rewrite /couchdb/_utils/(.*) /$1 break; proxy_pass http://fauxton/; proxy_redirect off; proxy_buffering off; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; } location /couchdb { rewrite /couchdb/(.*) /$1 break; proxy_pass http://couchdb/; proxy_redirect off; proxy_buffering off; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; } ... } ``` The CouchDB configuration at `/opt/couchdb/etc/local.d/docker-1.ini`: ```ini [chttpd] bind_address = 0.0.0.0 [httpd] enable_cors = true bind_address = 0.0.0.0 ``` The Dockerfile for the fauxton:alpine image at `fauxton.dockerfile`: ```dockerfile FROM node:10-alpine RUN npm install --silent -g fauxton ``` The docker configuration: ```sh sudo docker build -t fauxton:alpine - < ./fauxton.dockerfile sudo docker network create app-net sudo docker create --name app-couchdb --network app-net --restart unless-stopped -v /opt/couchdb/etc/local.d/docker-1.ini:/opt/couchdb/etc/local.d/docker-1.ini -e COUCHDB_USER="$ADMIN_USER" -e COUCHDB_PASSWORD="$ADMIN_PASSWORD" couchdb:latest sudo docker create --name app-fauxton --network app-net --restart unless-stopped fauxton:alpine fauxton --couchdb "http://app-couchdb:5984"; sudo docker create --name app-nginx --network app-net --restart unless-stopped --publish 8080:80 -v /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro nginx:alpine sudo docker start app-couchdb sudo docker start app-fauxton sudo docker start app-nginx ``` That should more or less give you a setup with the latest version of couchdb and the latest version of standalone fauxton, all running inside docker containers, and accessible via a non-root path at http://127.0.0.1:8080/couchdb/_utils/.
