Nginx proxy setting:

        location /fido/ {
            proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header   Host $http_host;
            proxy_pass         "http://127.0.0.1:8000/";
        }

Page loads fine. But clicking on Register gives

SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', "<html>
<h"... is not valid JSON

Resolved by prepending "/fido" to all URL in fetch calls in public/index.html

Nginx' proxy_pass supports full URLs so you could probably make this work just by changing the NGINX config to this instead:

location /fido/ {
    proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header   Host $http_host;
    proxy_pass         "http://127.0.0.1:8000/fido/";
}

This way you wouldn't need to change anything in public/index.html.
