Description

Description

I've looked just about everywhere I can think and can't find if there is an option for this. Having followed the install steps here: https://theia-ide.org/docs/composing_applications/ I am running Theia behind a reverse proxy (nginx), but alongside other apps. I would ideally like to access it at localhost/theia (as opposed to the root of localhost), but I can find no way to specify the bind point. nginx is correctly forwarding requests on localhost/theia to localhost:3000, but I receive a "Cannot GET" error.

Is this possible?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to configure the Express server in Theia to set a base path or use a reverse proxy with a subpath. Check existing options like ` hostname` and ` port`, and look for a ` base` or ` root` option. Also review the documentation on reverse proxy configuration.
