Activate SSL/HTPS using dietpi-letsencrypt and forward port 443 on your router as well.

not really. The need to a web server is clear. More the question if it can run with a sub path ๐

do you mean like [server.com/heimdall](http://server.com/heimdall)?

> @HackitZ(42) Has it right. You just need to configure SWAG by changing the proxy-conf file for Heimdall. Be sure to use the subfolder one for [server.com/heimdall](http://server.com/heimdall), rather than the subdomain one [heimdall.server.com](http://heimdall.server.com)

well if we like to implement Haimdall on DietPi, it would need to run without any proxy. It should support sub path ootb directly on the web server ๐
Ah and it should work without docker ๐ถ

> So there is a trick to Heimdall specifically. If you are using any authentication, which you should, set that in the heimdall conf file. But you have to make a change to the default file as well.

> @hemertje Thereโs actually a sample in that file starting on line 126. Youโll just have to configure it for whatever authentication you are using. But is there a reason you want to use heimdall in a subfolder in the first place?

looks like you are running in a circle with the guys from Heimdall ๐
I mean in your case it might be the easiest to run Heimdall indeed inside Docker to avoid to many conflicts with DietPi setup for lighttpd.
