I've tried without success several configurations to get Kibana 4.5.4 to work in [https://myhost/kibana](https://myhost/kibana)
Nginx configuration 1:
```
server {
listen 80;
# SSL configuration
listen 443 ssl http2 default_server;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2 default_server;
include snippets/self-signed.conf;
include snippets/ssl-params.conf;
auth_basic "Restricted Access";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/htpasswd.users;
location ~ (/elasticsearch/|/app/|/bundles/|/kibana|/status|/plugins) {
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://localhost:5601;
}
}
```
with `server.basePath: "/kibana"`, I get `502 Bad Gateway`. Without setting the base path, I get:
`{"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found"}`
Using [this approach](https://francispereira.com/reverse-proxying-kibana-with-nginx-sub-path.html,), I get
```

There is another topic with a similar problem here: [Reverse proxy Kibana](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/reverse-proxy-kibana/43647/14?u=tsullivan)

I have already tried that. You can see it in the first Nginx configuration I posted here.

I have the same behavior with kibana 5.4.
I can't figure out how to configure Nginx to work as reverse proxy.
Is Kibana really ready to be used behind a reverse proxy who use subpath instead of domain name ?

Absolutely!
Here is a configuration that worked for me:
kibana.yml
```auto
server:
basePath: "/awesome"
host: "tim-virtual-machine.local"
ssl:
key: "/home/tim/server.key"
cert: "/home/tim/server.crt"
```
nginx.conf
```auto
# proxy kibana with a /awesome base path
server {
listen 5665;
access_log logs/proxy.access-kbn.log main;
server_name tim-virtual-machine.local;
ssl_certificate /home/tim/server.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /home/tim/server.key;
ssl on;
ssl_session_cache builtin:1000 shared:SSL:10m;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!CAMELLIA:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
location /awesome {
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
proxy_pass https://tim-virtual-machine.local:5601/;
rewrite ^/awesome/(.*)$ /$1 break;
}
}
```
Now when I got to [https://tim-virtual-machine.local:5665/awesome](https://tim-virtual-machine.local:5665/awesome), I'm able to access Kibana.
I prefer adding the `rewrite` rule because it makes it explicit that the proxy needs to remove the base path from requests before they hit the Kibana server. There is a simpler, more implicit way to do this by adding slashes in the config appropriately. What I mean is, the following nginx config does the same thing, but the path removal is done automatically by nginx (note that the `location` line now has a slash at the end):
```auto
location /awesome/ {
proxy_pass https://tim-virtual-machine.local:5601/;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
```

I can't get it work with this config:
{"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found"}

Yong\_Zhang, can you share the `server.basePath` setting that you have in your kibana.yml file, as well as your proxy configuration?
