Hello Penpot developers and users,
I’m running Penpot behind a Apache reverse proxy.
Does Penpot use websockets and do I need to add some configuration for this?
For OpenVSCode I use:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Connection} Upgrade [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} websocket [NC]
RewriteRule /(.*) ws://localhost:2999/$1 [P,L]
Do I need to add something similar?
Are there any other problems I can expect from using Penpot behind a reverse proxy?
Yours sincerely,
Verhoeckx
Yes, I can’t found any infos about configuration on apache, but I have got example conf from diffrent project - work for me, websockets with notifications normally connect, there is code: (only change ‘your-address’ to your penpot ip:port)
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests off
ProxyPass / http://your-address/
ProxyPassReverse / http://your-address/
ProxyPass /ws ws://your-address/ws
ProxyPassReverse /ws ws://your-address/ws
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} =websocket [NC]
RewriteRule /(.*) ws://your-address/$1 [P,l]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} !=websocket [NC]
RewriteRule /(.*) http://your-address/$1 [P,l]
Hello @Sataris,
Thanks for the code!
I wonder however, which Apache directives are necessary and which aren’t. It would be great if there was some official documentation about this. And having said that: does Penpot use websockets at all? If they don’t, then our code isn’t necessary at all. So far, the application seems to work fine, but I haven’t used all functionality yet.
Verhoeckx
For people who will find this thread, I used the code below to proxy the websockets.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Connection} Upgrade [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} websocket [NC]
RewriteRule /(.*) ws://localhost:9001/$1 [P,L]
