Nginx as reverse proxy for OH2 at non-root location

Hardware Server

Might be too late on that… but for the record … we got this working in subdirectory with the same code as of @kohlsalem, only added the host header, as of:

location /openhab/ {

    proxy_pass                            http://localhost:8080/;
    proxy_set_header Host                 $host/openhab;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP            $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For      $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto    $scheme;

    #  change the normal "start" redirect directly to the basic ui;
    proxy_redirect http://openhab/start/index /openhab/basicui/app;

    sub_filter_types application/javascript text/xml text/css text/javascript application/json text/plain;
    sub_filter_once off;
    sub_filter '/rest/' '/openhab/rest/';
    sub_filter '"/icon/' '"/openhab/icon/';
    sub_filter '"/basicui/' '"/openhab/basicui/';

    ## Password Protection
    auth_basic                              "Username and Password Required";
    auth_basic_user_file                    /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
}

Detail for this line:

    proxy_set_header Host                 $host/openhab;

Hope it helps others!
