Hello,

I’m using cockpit cms with docker. Cockpit is exposed on my machine on localhost:8080.  
How to expose cockpit on localhost:8080/[prefix]/ where prefix can be something like ‘cockpit’ or ‘cms’.

I’d need to tell cockpit to refer to itself as localhost:8080/[prefix]/ and not just localhost:8080

Thank you
