static file path override

[pbolduc]

I was trying to use this docker package in Azure on a bitnami ElasticSearch base VM. By default, the root web site serves an index page that provides links to each of the applications. I used docker port redirect to port 80 to 10080

sudo docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:10081:80 -p 127.0.0.1:2003:2003 -p 127.0.0.1:2004:2004 -p 127.0.0.1:7002:7002 -it nickstenning/graphite
sudo docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:10080:80 -e GRAPHITE_URL=http://%DNS%.cloudapp.net/ -it aalpern/tessera-simple

and then in Apache, use mod_rewrite to map /dashboard/ to 127.0.0.1:10080.

However, when I navigate to http://myvmname.cloudapp.net/dashboard/ the application does display, however, all the the static resources (css, js) are still served off of /static/... ideally the page would serve them from static/... (no leading slash).

I am not sure if it is possible to configure tessera to say which path the static files should come from. I screwed around with apache rewrite for a while, but just couldn't get it correct. I am not that familiar with configuring Apache rewrite.

@pbolduc Sorry for the long response time - I just never saw the notification from github (I get a lot of those due to work having a couple thousand repos :)).

1 - try using the new development tag; the current dev branch of tessera has more reliable URL manipulation

2 - I don't know about configuring Apache, but this Docker image - https://github.com/aalpern/docker-tessera-test-nginx has an example of configuring tessera to run from a sub path in nginx. In addition to configuring the web server, you need to configure the APPLICATION_ROOT path in tessera's server config.

I will be busy over the next few days. Hopefully I will have some time next week and I will give that a go.
