How to specify path prefix/baseurl while hosting prodigy?

[Purvak-L (Purvak Lapsiya)]

I want to host prodigy on custom path, for example: https://0.0.0.0:5000/<custom_name> as baseUrl. How do I specify this

hi @Purvak-L!

Thanks for your post and welcome to the Prodigy community

There's not a simple way but as Matt mentiones below, worst case, you could make changes directly to app.py:

Feature request: URL prefixing

We actually provide the source for the server app within Prodigy, so if worse comes to worst you could make the changes you need to the app.py -- have a look within your Prodigy installation. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to make the front-end aware of the prefix without recompiling the app. I've definitely struggled through this before as well, so I feel the pain. What I've ended up concluding is that path-based routing is just more trouble than it's worth, and you're much better off just…

Unfortunately we don't support path-based routing. I wanted this too for our own deployments and really tried to get it to work, but as far as I can see there's no good way to do it that doesn't require recompiling the front-end once the desired subpath is known. The solution is to use subdomain routing instead. So instead of /instance_one/get_questions you'll have instance_one.example.com/get_questions.
