What’s the correct server config to use for hosting cockpit under a separate location ? Say, /admin. The best I’ve gotten has been Primary script unknown errors from fastcgi.

Having some trouble getting it running if I want to have my site code in root/public and cockpit in root/admin :confused:

admin/auth/login gets captured by my main site

example config (not tested)

server {

    listen 80;
    server_name localhost;

    root /usr/share/nginx/html;

    error_page 404 /404.html;
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }
