Configure URLs with prefix in Mojolicious behind Reverse Proxy (ProxyPass)

Question

I\'m looking for a reliable way to configure Mojolicious running behind an Apache reverse proxy under /app, so that url_for(\'/foo\') actually returns /ap

You need to set base path for each request url in before_dispatch hook

$app->hook(before_dispatch => sub {
  my $c = shift;
  $c->req->url->base->path('/app/');
});

Example:

use Mojolicious::Lite;

app->hook(before_dispatch => sub {
  shift->req->url->base->path('/app/');
});


get '/' => sub {
  my $c = shift;
  $c->render(text => $c->url_for('test'));
};

get '/test/url' => sub { ... } => 'test';

app->start;

And result:

$ curl 127.0.0.1:3000
/app/test/url
