Hi, I installed Portainer from dietpi-software, and it works great for managing my containers. Now I would like to put it behind my Nginx reverse proxy like all my other services (Jellyfin, Ombi…) so it can be under my SSL cert too. But for that I need to setup a subpath for Portainer (/portainer) like for all my other services. But I didn’t find any setting for this in Portainer. I searched a lot what setting I could set to the Portainer container (because Portainer itself is a container in the Docker install) to setup this subpath or subfolder, but I didn’t find any info on it. Does someone have an info on it ? Thanks in advance for any answer, Have a great day ! ---

Searching on Portainer GitHub would have returned some useful hints [https://github.com/portainer/portainer/issues/418#issuecomment-284555478](https://github.com/portainer/portainer/issues/418#issuecomment-284555478) ---

But I’m looking for the Portainer config. The problem is that I would like Portainer to be hosted on a subpath, not on the root of my domain. So it requires Portainer to add a /portainer to all its pages, and I didn’t find how to do this. EDIT : I’m stupid, a few posts before there was the argument “path\_beg” that appears to be a solution. I’ll try that asap and tell you how it goes, thanks ---

I simply copied the Nginx config lines into my test web server configuration and Portainer was reachable by subpath ootb. Nothing to be changed on Portainer side. ![picture.png](https://dietpi.com/forum/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e3fda79eb77e42255e0a08c49159ce564871fd2a.png) ---

That’s probably the stupidest question I’ve asked on this forum, very sorry for making you loose time on this very simple thing. Everything works correctly, thanks again ! ---
