docker - How to serve angular with nginx with a relative path

Question

I'm bit lost on how serve my angular app with nginx. The requirements are that the url for accessing the app will fall under: www.domain-name.com/rte

I have the app files on a docker on the path: /usr/share/nginx/html/

And my default.conf looks like:

  location /rte {
    alias /usr/share/nginx/html/;
    try_files $uri$args $uri$args $uri $uri/ /index.html;
  }

But when I try to access the page, a timeout happens.

I've tried with this aswel:

  location /rte/ 

and a 404 is thrown.

Edit: my index.html has -> base href="/"

Answer 1

The solution was to add /rte/ on try_files $uri$args $uri$args $uri $uri/ /rte/index.html;

And as Richards commented, I had to add the /rte/ on the index html base href as well:

base href="/rte/"
