Use Nginx proxy with subpath

Demonstrate how to use HomeGallery with docker compose and http proxy nginx with base path [/pictures]

File nginx.conf:

server {
    location / {
        root /var/www/html;
    }

    location = /pictures {
        rewrite ^ /pictures/;
    }

    location /pictures/ {
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        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;

        proxy_pass http://gallery:3000/pictures/;
    }
}

File compose.yml:

services:
  gallery:
    image: xemle/home-gallery
    environment:
      #- GALLERY_API_SERVER=http://api:3000
      - GALLERY_API_SERVER_CONCURRENT=1 # for SoC devices like Rasperry Pi. Use 5 otherwise
      - GALLERY_API_SERVER_TIMEOUT=60 # for SoC devices like Rasperry Pi. Use 30 otherwise
      #- GALLERY_USE_NATIVE=ffprobe,ffmpeg,vipsthumbnail # On issues with sharp resizer
      - GALLERY_OPEN_BROWSER=false
      # Use polling for safety of possible network mounts. Try 0 to use inotify via fs.watch
      - GALLERY_WATCH_POLL_INTERVAL=300
      # Define server prefix
      - GALLERY_PREFIX=/pictures
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      # Mount your media directories below /data
      - ${HOME}/Pictures:/data/Pictures    
    user: "${CURRENT_USER}"
    entrypoint: ['node', '/app/gallery.js']
    command: ['run', 'server']  

  nginx:
    image: nginx:1-alpine
    ports:
      - 8080:80
    volumes:
      - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

Start

mkdir -p data/config
echo "CURRENT_USER=$(id -u):$(id -g)" >> .env
docker compose run gallery run init --source /data/Pictures
docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost:8080/pictures in your browser
