Kibana 6.2.3 behind reverse proxy with sub folder?

[Mason_Batley]

Hi Gang,

I've been trying to get Kibana up and running at the URL https://mysite.com/kibana which is currently getting the beloved 404 error. I'm running the standard docker image and hosting it behind the docker flow proxy which I believe should pass /kibana/ -> / onto the kibana service, the problem seems to be that brower components aren't loading at the correct URL...

Docker service definition:

kibana:
image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.2.3
networks:
- logging_nw
- proxy
ports:
- 5601:5601
environment:
- xpack.security.enabled=false
- ELASTICSEARCH_URL=http://elasticsearch:9200
volumes:
- ./Kibana/kibana.yml:/etc/kibana/kibana.yml
deploy:
labels:
- com.df.aclName=proxyPriorityK
- com.df.notify=true
- com.df.distribute=true
- com.df.servicePath=/kibana
- com.df.port=5601
- com.df.serviceDomain=mysite.com
- com.df.reqPathSearchReplace=/kibana/,/
- com.df.alertName=memlimit
- com.df.alertIf=@service_mem_limit:0.8
- com.df.alertFor=30s

Kibana config file:
server.port: 5601
server.host: "0.0.0.0"
server.basePath: "/kibana"
elasticsearch.url: http://elasticsearch:9200

brower components aren't loading at the correct URL...

Right. Kibana thinks it is running at /, but you are actually putting the assets behind /kibana.

You need to configure Kibana with a server.basePath setting of /kibana. This will cause all the assets in the browser (links, mostly) to use the /kibana prefix on their path.

@Mason_Batley

server.basePath: "/kibana"

Hi, Yes I'm using that option and pasted my kibana config file at the bottom of the post:

server.basePath: "/kibana"

But i'm seeing in the browser that for example it's trying to load /bundles/... instead of /kibana/bundles...

Any ideas what's missing?

Here is a log entry from kibana when going to mysite.com/kibana/app/kibana, I can see that the reverse proxy is 'correctly' stripping out the /kibana/ sub folder:
