Installation failed (but now solved) - error in documentation?

[mehlkopf]

Hi,

I wanted to install miniflux on my Raspberry Pi (v4, buster), but somewhere I was not able to follow the instructions or something conflicts with my system. I managed to create the PostgreSQL user, database, etc. and was able to install miniflux via dpkg. Then, the service did not start, as the port 8080 conflicted with another software I am running; I changed it accordingly in the config. My nginx config was also changed and works - I can call the URL and it displays a login prompt (see screenshot below), but it does not work - regardless of what I enter, it's just downloading an empty "login" file.
I don't know if that is related, but I had some problems following the instructions for migrating the database and creating the admin user, as the simple command "miniflux -migrate" did not call the running (via systemd) miniflux instance, so I had to provide the config path via -c manually. However, this should just have been some alterations in the PostgreSQL tables that, once done, should not affect miniflux later on, right?

It would be great to get some help, thank you very much! If you need any more information, please let me know! Thank you!

This is my /etc/miniflux.conf:

RUN_MIGRATIONS=1
DATABASE_URL=user=miniflux password=mypassword dbname=miniflux sslmode=disable
LISTEN_ADDR=127.0.0.1:8180
BASE_URL=https://sub.domain.eu/subpath/

This is my server - location config for the nginx reverse proxy:

        location /subpath/ {
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8180/subpath/;
                proxy_redirect off;
                proxy_set_header Host $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        }

Hi, I was not able to solve the problem myself: I got it to work correctly by changing the nginx config, the problem was using "proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8180/subpath/;" instead of "proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8180;". I assume this is a general problem, and if someone could confirm this, it would be great to see the manual (https://miniflux.app/docs/howto.html#reverse-proxy-subfolder) changed. Thank you!
