I’m not sure, if I understood your setup correctly…

Do you fetch the data via REST API or do you include the cockpit bootstrap file via php?

Did you setup everything under `example.com/cockpit`, tested everything on `example.com/cockpit/frontend` and then changed `example.com` to point to `/cockpit/frontend`? In this case, cockpit is not public available anymore, but you should be able to include the bootstrap file.

Maybe with setting `RewriteBase`, but I have a setup on strato, where I didn’t need to change it.

You can change some constants for path detection if you add a file `defines.php` to the cockpit root folder.

I use the structure `/frontend/cockpit`, so the setup is a bit different, but maybe you can fiddle with it. Here are some threads with examples for the defines file:
