[Can't run production] Front end makes backend requests with bare IP

[Former user]

Hi!

I'm enjoying the tool and would like to run it in a productive environment. To do so, it would be ideal to have it behind a proxy with an HTTPs connection.

However, putting it behind a proxy doesn't work because the front end application makes requests using the direct IP instead of a defined domain.

Here's an example proxying from localhost:80 to localhost:8080:

Same problem occurs when running the app behind a load balancer, as the requests are built using the internal IP as base URL.

It would be cool if a domain variable was settable in docker that determined the base URL of al requests.

Also, the Docker Hub page documentation appears to be wrong/incomplete.

Option 1 says to run a stateless docker container with the following command:

docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 wisemapping/wisemapping:latest

But then says: "Then, open your browser at http://localhost:8888", which is the wrong port.

Option 2 says "Running HSQL with a mounted directory", but the exact same command as option is shown, no volumes are actually mounted.

This seems like a really nice tool and with the vast lack of open source alternatives, me and my friends would love to use it!

Thanks!

I am also facing this issue with a blank page when loading Wisemapping behind a reverse-proxy ; application is working fine when used directly using docker on http://localhost:8080/ ; need to inspect what’s going wrong and try to find way to make it work.

best regards.

here is workaround :

generated code on header page is like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="${site.static.js.url}/webapp/vendors.bundle.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="${site.static.js.url}/webapp/app.bundle.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

need to replace src="${site.static.js.url}/webapp/app.bundle.js" with src="/static/webapp/app.bundle.js"

so we can add a substitute filter in apache configuration, just after reverse proxy:

    RewriteEngine On
    ProxyPass        / <http://localhost:8922/>
    ProxyPassReverse / <http://localhost:8922/>

<Location "/">
    # AddOutputFilterByType SUBSTITUTE text/html
    AddOutputFilterByType INFLATE;SUBSTITUTE;DEFLATE text/html
    Substitute "s|src=\"\$\{site.static.js.url\}|src=\"/static|"
</Location>

that’s all ; enjoy !

did you add/edit:

site.baseurl = https://mindmap.mydomain.tld

‌

inside app.properties? I followed this page: https://hub.docker.com/r/wisemapping/wisemapping

there is an example to get the default app.properties

curl https://bitbucket.org/wisemapping/wisemapping-open-source/raw/644b7078d790220c7844b732a83d45495f11d64e/wise-webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/app.properties

then see my sample docker-compse.yml here https://bitbucket.org/wisemapping/wisemapping-open-source/issues/3/missing-volume-informations-for-docker on how to mount app.properties into the container

Hey Ovidiu,

You nailed, thanks for sharing !

This properly is the one you need to edit to support behind proxy setup. I will improv the documentation to further details about this setup.

Documentation issue addressed !.
