@spalger,

I wanted to include a curl, per your suggestion:

> 
> - About to connect() to localhost port 5601 (#0)
> - Trying 127.0.0.1...
> - Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 5601 (#0)

hmm, so I guess, I'm still a bit confused. I upgraded to 6.3.1 and now my kibana.yml looks like this:

> server.basePath: "/kibana"  
> server.rewriteBasePath: {basePath}/\*

Additionally my nginx config, I removed the trailing slash so it now looks like this:

> ```
> location /kibana/ {
> error_page 401 /401$request_uri;
> rewrite ^/kibana(.*)$ $1 break;
> proxy_pass http://kibana:5601;
> }
> 
> ```

Currently the issue is that the last redirect does not append the server.basePath to the url. This means when I go to [https://foo.biz/kibana](https://foo.biz/kibana), I am sent to [https://foo.biz/kibana/](https://foo.biz/kibana/) which sends me to [https://foo.biz/app/kibana](https://foo.biz/app/kibana), which is an invalid url.

My understanding is that the server.basePath would append the value assigned to it? Such that the value of the last redirect would be [https://foo.biz/kibana/app/kibana](https://foo.biz/kibana/app/kibana).

Am I understanding the value of server.basePath?

Finally I wanted to reach out to @jarpy as he seemed to help with a similar issue [126732](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/cannot-reach-kibana-in-docker/126732).

Thank you again
