Use Meteor.absoluteUrl() to handle being deployed on a virtual-host.com/folder/

[ogirardot]

I'm kind of struggling trying to get it working on a server name like that http://my.domain/rocket.chat/
More precisely, these fonts/images are trying to load from / instead of ROOT_URL :

• /fonts/roboto-regular-webfont.woff2
• /fonts/roboto-regular-webfont.woff
• /images/logo/favicon-16x16.png?v=3
• /fonts/roboto-regular-webfont.ttf

Which is not critical but the FlowRouter does not behave as well making it impossible to use the app :

There is no route for the path: /rocket.chat/

is the error I get, and the meteor-timesync client is trying to use /_timesync too (but I managed to redirect using nginx...).

My set-up is to use the docker container and a nginx reverse proxy.
I'm not exactly sure what to do to fix the client side...

Olivier.

I'll fix it.

I removed the fonts form the /public folders and started to use it from google fonts api again.

But there are a few places where we have to add Meteor.absoluteUrl() to the beginning of the url.

@ogirardot can you give it a shot and submit a PR with the changes?

[engelgabriel]

How are you trying to achieve this? With NGINX or Apache?

[ogirardot]

Nginx

ditto, i too use a virtualhost, but i'm still trying to get past the /_timesync issue. @ogirardot where is _timesync located, or rather, what rule did you use to tell meteor to find it?

[engelgabriel]

@trogdan it is not a file or directory, it is a registered route on the http server.

I think this is related to #1696
