need option for basepath

[akshaykhairmode]

Hi Team,

I am trying to run mongoku on kubernetes cluster. The problem is that we don't have access to do anything on the domain like creating subdomains and stuff. We can't deploy this on the root path (/).

I am trying to deploy this at "/mongodb" path. While using ingress rewrite rules and I can view the normal pages where HTML is being rendered.

But the API calls are failing because they are adding /mongodb/mongodb to the URL. Because of this it's giving 404.

Is there any option to mention a base path in the application or is there any workaround for this?

Regards,
Akshay Khairmode

done in #152 but you need to build from source with BASE_PATH build arg (for docker) or env var (for no docker), eg BASE_PATH=/mongodb

eg

pnpm install
BASE_PATH=/mongodb pnpm build
node build

or

pnpm install
BASE_PATH=/mongodb pnpm dev

or

docker build --build-arg BASE_PATH=/mongoku -t yournamehere/mongoku .

Hey @coyotte508 ,

Thank you for the quick fix.

BASE_PATH in env variables works for me. I hope it gets released soon to docker hub.

I'll publish to docker but it's a docker build arg - not env var at runtime

[akshaykhairmode]

is it possible to have it at runtime? similar to mongo-express

[coyotte508]

Sorry you'll just have to build it with a BASE_PATH build arg and host it on dockerhub, and use your own dockerhub image.

Follow-up to #152 (BASE_PATH support).

A few links were still built wrong under a non-empty BASE_PATH, reproducing the /mongodb/mongodb → 404 symptom from this issue:

Collection tabs (Indexes, Sharding, Mappings, Schema) and search submit — base path duplicated.
Schema page document link — base missing.
Cause: page.url.pathname already includes the base, but the code passed it through resolve(), which prepends the base again. Fix builds base-less paths and lets resolve() add it once.

Opened #174 — verified end-to-end with BASE_PATH=/mongodb; BASE_PATH="" unchanged.
