Current Behavior

After setting the base URL path to BASE_PATH = 'test/' the error about Static Media Failure is raised.

Expected Behavior

Netbox app should run without a problem
Static files should be referenced according to BASE_PATH.

From looking at the documentation for nginx unit, it doesn’t seem to support url rewriting yet, so my suggestion will not work with the netbox-docker image in most cases.

In your specific case, it seems like you want the base path to be /netbox. That might be possible like this:

{
      "match": {
        "uri": "/netbox/static/*"
      },
      "action": {
        "share": "/opt/netbox"
      }
    },

This will pass all /netbox/static/* urls to /opt/share/netbox so if you request https://netboxhost.com/netbox/static/blah.js it will be fetched from /opt/netbox + /netbox/static/blah.js which should give the right URL.

Nginx unit seems pretty limited in general, so I don’t have a good solution for you. It’s not possible to just use a subdomain for your netbox instance instead of a path?

The issue is that the match pattern configured in nginx unit for static files is static (as in, non-configurable):

https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox-docker/blob/release/docker/nginx-unit.json#L10-L16

You might be able to mount your own nginx-unit.json file to /etc/unit/nginx-unit.json with a correct route for static files.

I’ve just pulled the netbox-docker and tried to do the fresh start with BASE_PATH and the problem still occurs.
