# Running Grafana behind a reverse proxy

It should be straight forward to get Grafana up and running behind a reverse proxy. But here are some things that you might run into.

Links and redirects will not be rendered correctly unless you set the server.domain setting.
```
[server]
domain = foo.bar
```

To use sub *path* ex `http://foo.bar/grafana` make sure to include `/grafana` in the end of root_url.
Otherwise Grafana will not behave correctly. See example below.

# Examples
Here are some example configurations for running Grafana behind a reverse proxy.

## Grafana configuration (ex http://foo.bar.com)
```
[server]
domain = foo.bar
```

## Nginx configuration
```
server {
  listen 80;
  root /usr/share/nginx/www;
  index index.html index.htm;

  location / {
   proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/;
  }
}
```

# Examples with **sub path** (ex http://foo.bar.com/grafana)

## Grafana configuration with sub path
```
[server]
domain = foo.bar
root_url = %(protocol)s://%(domain)s:/grafana
```

## Nginx configuration with sub path
```
server {
  listen 80;
  root /usr/share/nginx/www;
  index index.html index.htm;

  location /grafana/ {
   proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/;
  }
}
```
