TVHeadend behind reverse proxy

BruderB · April 19, 2019 at 7:30 AM

Hej all,

I want to make tvheadend (running on libreelec 9) accessible from the internet.

There's an Apache running on a different box with the reverse Proxy pointing to a location /tvheadend

ProxyPreserveHost On

Proxypass /tvheadend http://192.168.20.40:9981/tvheadend

Proxypassreverse /tvheadnend http://192.168.20.40:9981/tvheadend

Now the final step should be to make TVheadend use a different http_root by adding:

-f --http_root /tvheadend

to the calling command or writing

ARGS="-f --http_root /tvheadend"

to a config file for the daemon, which I do not find in libreelec.

How can that be done? Or is there a different idea to make tvheadend usable from outside?

Thanks and regards,

Boris

TVH is running on a dedicated port (9981) which is being proxied so there's no need to change the root path.

Hej Chewitt,

hej all,

I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding:

TVHeadend shall be accessible from the Internet by navigating to

http://<mydomain>/tvheadend

So, if TVHeadend is configured with / as its document-root, it will reference continuative links to /. But this is not the right destination.

Also rewriting is not a choice, because there is a different content in / .

So, after all, I'm coming back to my original question.....

Thanks,

Boris
