How to specify Custom locations correctly

[mxm199]

Good day to all! Version 2.11.1 is installed Guacamole is installed and is available at gua.mysite.com/guacamole . How to correctly specify the user location so that the site is immediately accessible at gua.mysite.com ? I've tried all the options, but none of them work, even from the official guacamole help page. or not work

I will be grateful for your help!

I'll quickly hijack your post, because I'm currently investigating an issue with custom locations, that could be related to yours I think there might be a general problem with custom locations (I'm on 2.11.1) as soon as I specify a custom location the host goes offline the host file gets deleted and cannot be recreated it throws an error that the file could not be deleted (but it was deleted)

Could not delete file: {
  "errno": -2,
  "code": "ENOENT",
  "syscall": "unlink",
  "path": "/data/nginx/proxy_host/41.conf"
}

the host works without specifying the custom location in the GUI then add the custom location with CLI directly to the host file and reload nginx

I didn't fully understand what needed to be done... I also tried to add a construction to the host file itself (from the guacamole manual)

location /guacamole/ {
    proxy_pass http://HOSTNAME:8080;
    proxy_buffering off;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection $http_connection;
    access_log off;
}

But then the container does not restart and throws a bunch of errors on this configuration. Maybe I'm closing the brackets '}' incorrectly

If you remove the '}' after access_log off; then there are no errors, but it still does not work

it looks like you've added it to the nginx config not the host config you need to add your location to the host config file located under /data/nginx/proxy_host/<some number>.conf add your host through the GUI and watch the log which host it is (or search the config files with grep -n "yourhost" /data/nginx/proxy_host/*) and reload nginx /usr/sbin/nginx -s reload

or downgrade nginx to a previous version the GUI issue with custom locations might relate to #3647 and to #3678

I installed version v2.10.4 and everything worked

v2.11.1 The same problem exists

Try 2.11.2, for me that one did the trick!

you already solved the issue? im still trying to figure out, using npm v2.11.3 and guacamole v1.5.4, can access via http without certificate in port 8080, but cant access using the proxy port with SSL. 😭
