Change application URL for front-end when using reverse proxy

[Clock1932]

Hi there!

I installed HTPC-Manager last week - great stuff! There is however one thing I havn't figured out yet, and I'm not sure if this is possible in the current version.

From a usability and security perspective I have placed all applications (including HTPC-M) behind a Apache reverse proxy with SSL encryption and authorisation. Therefore, the specified hostnames in the HTPC-M configuration do not match the actual URL of the application (for the end-user). Therefore I would to have the opportunity to specify the front-end link to each application in the configuration.

Example:
Current SabNZBd link in HTPC-M front-end: http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd/
Desired SabNZBd link in HTPC-M front-end: https://domain.nl/sabnzbd/

Regards!

That would be a nice improvement, in the meantime you can add those links in "other link"

Thanks for your suggestion! I think having double entries for each application is a bit too much - I'll try to hardcode the URL's in the code for now.

Just remember you would have to redo them on each update.

I'm running the same setup as you do, but not experiencing any problems. I have just point the build in apps to localhost like this:

And of course, with this setup you should always use HTPC from your specified external domain name, but that is just what you want right? Make use of your easy to use and remember domain name.

The apps / htpc UI is working correctly using the settings identical to
yours, only the UI link to the actual backend application (e.g. 'download'
title in the HTPC UI pointing towards the actual SABnzbd application) isn't
working properly due to the different front-end URL.

Hmm I think it's some of the issues hellowlol fixed in his version of HTPC. Try his fork! It's better in many ways.

@kooimens I have fixed other issues regarding ssl.
I'll add support for this.
