Dear Colleagues,

I've followed a get started guide on [https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch-kubernetes](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch-kubernetes)

I've deployed es + kibana in the way described there.  
If I curl from master instance , it works

curl -I -k -u elastic:$PASSWORD 111.11.1.11:5601/app/kibana  
HTTP/1.1 200 OK  
content-security-policy: script-src 'unsafe-eval' 'nonce-xxxxxxxxx'; worker-src blob:; child-src blob:  
kbn-name: kibana  
kbn-xpack-sig: 24402aaf1221ff23f12f12f12f12f12f  
cache-control: no-cache  
content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8  
content-length: 81330  
vary: accept-encoding  
connection: close

Though, in front of kibana there is a traefik LB  
So, if I would go to a mapped route /kibana (mapped to kibana service + 5601 port) , this results in a redirection to "login?next=%2F"

HTTP/1.1 302 Found  
location: /login?next=%2F  
kbn-name: kibana  
kbn-xpack-sig: 24402ca2235df0b3dc31c96be2fbfa3a  
content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8  
cache-control: no-cache

So, kibana redirects to a wrong base path.  
In documentation i found that there is a possibility to set a base path like :  
env

- name: SERVER\_BASEPATH  
value: /api/xxx

How to better implement it taking into account implementation in [https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch-kubernetes](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch-kubernetes)

Found the solution.  
Apparently, in earlier versions \<0.9 of eck operator this was not possible and was a limitation.

Now, starting for version 0.9 SERVER\_BASEPATH via env is supported and a lot more.  
Cooooll!

To check the eck operator version, looks in kind: StatefulSet - name: elastic-operator \> ,  
containers:

- image: [docker.elastic.co/eck/](http://docker.elastic.co/eck/) **eck-operator:0.9.0**

Solution (in kibana operator file):

```
  podTemplate:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: kibana
        function: logging
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: kibana
        env:
          - name: SERVER_BASEPATH
            value: /kibana

```
