Description

What problem does this PR solve?
Self-hosters who run multiple services behind one reverse-proxied hostname (e.g. https://homeserver.example.com/sparky/) currently have no way to deploy SparkyFitness at a sub-path — Vite bakes absolute asset paths, React Router has no basename, and several code paths hardcode domain-root-absolute URLs, all of which break at a sub-path.

How did you implement the solution?
Adds a SPARKY_BASE_PATH env var (default /) that's substituted into <base href> at request time via nginx sub_filter, driven by docker/docker-entrypoint.sh. A single frontend source of truth (src/utils/basePath.ts) reads <base href> at runtime; every base-path-aware consumer (router basename, API base URL, Better Auth client base URL, i18n locale loading, and all hardcoded image/asset/link references) is routed through it. vite.config.ts uses base: './' so built asset references and VitePWA's manifest/service-worker offline fallback resolve correctly at any sub-path. A new ESLint rule flags future hardcoded absolute-path regressions of this bug class. No backend, database, or migration changes; root deployments (SPARKY_BASE_PATH unset) are unaffected.

Linked Issue: Closes #1404

How to Test

  1. Check out this branch and build the frontend image, or run pnpm dev in SparkyFitnessFrontend/.
  2. Set SPARKY_BASE_PATH=/sparky/ on the frontend container (and SPARKY_FITNESS_FRONTEND_URL / BETTER_AUTH_URL per the reverse proxy guide), and put it behind a reverse proxy (e.g. Caddy) that strips the /sparky prefix.
  3. Verify login, navigation, asset loading, and API calls all work correctly under https://<host>/sparky/.
  4. Also verify a normal root deployment (SPARKY_BASE_PATH unset) is unaffected.
  5. Run bash docker/test-entrypoint.sh from repo root for the base-path normalization / nginx substitution / build-artifact regression checks (10 assertions).

Notes for Reviewers

  • This branch was rebased onto current main (769 commits) before opening this PR; the full frontend verification suite (typecheck, lint, 795 Jest tests, and the 10-assertion docker/test-entrypoint.sh harness against a real vite build) was re-run post-rebase with no regressions.
  • Per @apedley's request on [Feature]: Support configurable sub-path deployment via SPARKY_BASE_PATH #1404, the ESLint rule (no-restricted-syntax selectors in eslint.config.js) that flags future hardcoded absolute-path regressions is included.
  • No UI/visual redesign — this is purely path-prefixing behavior (an existing page renders identically at / and /sparky/), so no before/after screenshots are meaningfully different; happy to add a screen recording of a sub-path deployment working end-to-end if useful for review.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The frontend now supports runtime deployment under a configurable sub-path. Base-path utilities update routing, assets, API requests, authentication, localization, Docker entrypoint substitution, Nginx responses, validation, tests, and deployment documentation.

Changes

Frontend base-path deployment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Base path and routing
SparkyFitnessFrontend/src/utils/basePath.ts, SparkyFitnessFrontend/index.html, SparkyFitnessFrontend/vite.config.ts, SparkyFitnessFrontend/src/App.tsx, SparkyFitnessFrontend/src/tests/utils/basePath.test.ts
The frontend reads and normalizes <base href>. Vite assets, Workbox fallback, and React Router use the configured path.
Frontend URL integration
SparkyFitnessFrontend/src/api/..., SparkyFitnessFrontend/src/i18n.ts, SparkyFitnessFrontend/src/lib/auth-client.ts, SparkyFitnessFrontend/src/components/..., SparkyFitnessFrontend/src/layouts/..., SparkyFitnessFrontend/src/pages/..., SparkyFitnessFrontend/src/tests/api/api.test.ts, SparkyFitnessFrontend/src/tests/i18n.test.ts, SparkyFitnessFrontend/src/tests/lib/auth-client.test.ts
API, chat, authentication, locale, image, exercise, and documentation URLs use base-path helpers. Internal authentication links use React Router Link.
Hardcoded path validation
SparkyFitnessFrontend/eslint.config.js, SparkyFitnessFrontend/eslint-rules/*, SparkyFitnessFrontend/src/tests/eslint/noHardcodedBasePath.test.ts
Shared ESLint selectors reject unsupported root-relative JSX and fetch paths in source TypeScript files. Tests cover rejected and allowed patterns.

Docker runtime wiring

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime configuration and Nginx substitution
docker/docker-entrypoint.sh, docker/nginx.conf, docker/docker-compose.prod.yml, docker/.env.example
Docker configuration accepts SPARKY_BASE_PATH and BETTER_AUTH_URL. The entrypoint normalizes the base path, and Nginx injects it into the HTML base element.
Deployment validation and documentation
docker/test-entrypoint.sh, docs/content/1.install/7.environment-variables.md, docs/content/3.administration/2.reverse-proxy.md
Shell checks validate normalization, template substitution, built HTML, and service-worker fallback. Documentation describes sub-path configuration and reverse-proxy setup.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0330e

The PR enables sub-path deployments and is mergeable with owner awareness of a bounded follow-up: the path-regression lint guard does not catch every member-access fetch pattern, so future root-relative requests could bypass enforcement.

@github-actions github-actions Bot added bug Something isn't working documentation Improvements or additions to documentation labels Aug 20, 2026
Adds three utility functions for handling sub-path deployments:
- getBasePath(): returns empty string at root, or trimmed path for sub-path
- withBasePath(): prefixes a path with the base path
- getRouterBasename(): returns base path or '/' for React Router
- Add getAuthBaseUrl() function that constructs auth API URL with base path
- Wire getAuthBaseUrl() into authClient's baseURL configuration
- Create auth-client tests with jest.isolateModules pattern
- Add jest.config.js with better-auth module mocks for test support
- Ensure auth endpoints respect sub-path deployments
Reverts out-of-scope infra changes from the auth-client task (shared
jest.config.js, package.json jest-block removal, global src/__mocks__
better-auth stubs, and an accidentally committed docs scratch file).
Replaces them with local jest.mock() calls inside auth-client.test.ts,
matching the existing pattern used elsewhere in the suite, and restores
the plain top-level import for getAuthBaseUrl().
Refactor docker-entrypoint.sh to be sourceable (main guarded behind a
BASH_SOURCE check) and add normalize_base_path()/NGINX_TEMPLATE_VARS so
docker/test-entrypoint.sh can exercise the substitution logic without
starting nginx. nginx.conf's location / block now rewrites the served
<base href="/"> to SPARKY_BASE_PATH via sub_filter.
vite build emits <base href="/" /> (self-closing with spaces), not
<base href="/">, so nginx's sub_filter never matched and
SPARKY_BASE_PATH was silently never applied to served HTML. Fix the
sub_filter pattern in docker/nginx.conf and the corresponding
assertion in docker/test-entrypoint.sh, and verify end-to-end with a
real docker build/run/curl cycle.
…int-disable

Replaces the eslint-disable-suppressed direct @/api/api import in the
SparkyChatInterface page component with a proper hooks/api layered
approach: src/api/Chatbot/sparkyChatService.ts now exports
getChatStreamUrl(), re-exported from src/hooks/AI/useSparkyChat.ts,
matching the existing page -> hooks -> api convention and respecting
the no-restricted-imports architecture boundary.
- normalize_base_path now prepends a leading slash when missing, so a
  value like 'sparky' becomes '/sparky/' instead of a broken relative
  base href; add shell test coverage for the new cases.
- Extract the router routes into a named const so adding the basename
  option no longer re-indents the entire route table.
- Move the getChatStreamUrl re-export out of the import block and
  document why the hooks layer re-exports it.
- Enumerate the companion sub-path env vars in the SPARKY_BASE_PATH
  example block so they are discoverable in one place.
…RKY_BASE_PATH

Adds a no-restricted-syntax rule with 5 AST selectors flagging bare
/-prefixed literals used directly as JSX src=/href= or fetch() args,
so a future PR can't silently reintroduce the sub-path bug class found
in review. Anything already wrapped in withBasePath()/API_BASE_URL, or
React Router's Link, is structurally excluded by AST shape.
Found by the new no-restricted-syntax rule (not part of its own commit,
since it's a real, previously-unknown instance of the sub-path bug
class rather than test/config infrastructure) -- src={`/${p.file_path}`}
bypassed SPARKY_BASE_PATH the same way the Task 6/11-14 fixes did.
….prod.yml

Neither var was passed to the frontend/server services' environment
blocks, so setting them in docker/.env had no effect via docker compose
-- silently reproducing the original unprefixed-auth-routing bug this
feature exists to fix, and defaulting the frontend to root behavior
regardless of the configured sub-path.
- Extract noHardcodedBasePathSelectors into an importable .cjs module
  shared by eslint.config.js and its test, instead of duplicating the
  selector array by hand.
- Cover window.fetch(...)/globalThis.fetch(...) member-expression calls,
  which the bare `callee.name === "fetch"` selector missed.
- Drop the `any` in the test's structuredClone polyfill for a typed
  generic cast.

Could you look into the below item that Claude flagged

Food images still break at a sub-path

src/utils/foodImages.ts:28 returns `/uploads/foods/${trimmed}` and wasn't touched. That helper feeds <img src> across Diary, MealBuilder, food search and the lightbox, so every food/meal photo 404s under /sparky/. Same bug class as everything else you fixed, the new ESLint rule just can't see it because it's a return value rather than a JSX attribute.

Logout kicks you out of the app

src/hooks/useAuth.tsx:189 and src/api/Auth/auth.ts:144 both do window.location.href = '/'. Under a sub-path that lands on the domain root, which on a multi-service homeserver is probably somebody else's app.

The service worker eats the API docs links

Built dist/sw.js on your branch still has:

denylist:[/^\/api/,/^\/uploads/]

Those are root-anchored. SW scope is /sparky/, so navigating to /sparky/api/api-docs/swagger (the exact link you just wrapped in withBasePath in DevloperResources.tsx) doesn't match the denylist and gets the SPA shell instead of the docs. Same for opening an upload directly in a new tab. You made navigateFallback base-relative but not the denylist.

The BETTER_AUTH_URL advice worries me

The docs tell people to set BETTER_AUTH_URL=https://host/api/auth without the sub-path. But auth.ts:198 uses that same value as Better Auth's baseURL, and that's what builds the absolute URLs in password reset emails, magic links and OAuth/OIDC/SSO redirect_uris. The Caddy example only routes /sparky/*, so a reset link goes to https://host/api/auth/reset-password/<token>, a path that on a homeserver may well belong to a completely different service, which then gets a live reset token in its logs. SSO and OAuth callbacks break the same way.

Also, auth.ts:213 sets basePath: '/api/auth' explicitly, so the doc claim that Better Auth derives its routing base path from BETTER_AUTH_URL isn't quite right. What did you actually see when it 404'd? I want to make sure we're fixing the right thing here rather than papering over it.

The one that actually worries me most, because it hits everyone

<base href="/"> now ships on every deployment including plain root ones. That's the classic <base> footgun for SVG fragment refs: url(#id) in fill/stroke/filter/clipPath resolves against the document base URL, not the current URL. Base is /, you're on /diary, they differ on every route except the index.

We've got these:

Glp1Coach.tsx:219                  fill="url(#pk)"
FastingTimerRing.tsx:131,138,212   stroke / filter
NutritionPeriodSummary.tsx:712     fill="url(#colorNutrient)"
EnergySchedule.tsx:194,196         stroke / fill

plus every Recharts chart, which generates clipPath="url(#recharts-N-clip)" internally. Browser behaviour here has flip-flopped over the years (Firefox special-cases local refs, Blink and WebKit have gone back and forth). It might be totally fine on current browsers. But this touches every chart in the app on every route and there's no test coverage for it, so I need a manual pass on Reports, the fasting timer and the GLP-1 chart in both Chrome and Safari on a deep route before I'm comfortable.

PWA identity changes for existing installs

Dropping public/manifest.json means the browser now uses VitePWA's generated one. I diffed the real output:

  • short_name goes from SparkyFit to SparkyFitness
  • start_url goes from / to ./
  • no id in either

With no id, identity comes from start_url, so existing installed PWAs can get orphaned or re-prompt for install, and the home screen label changes. Adding an explicit id plus short_name: 'SparkyFit' to the VitePWA manifest config fixes it.

Two stale references in files you already edit

  • docker/nginx.conf:102 location = /manifest.json is dead now, so split-origin setups lose CORS on the real manifest.webmanifest
  • docs/content/3.administration/2.reverse-proxy.md:27 still documents manifest.json CORS

Link previews

og:image and twitter:image went from /images/... to bare relative images/.... OG crawlers want absolute URLs and mostly ignore <base>, so Discord/Slack/Facebook previews will likely stop resolving.

While we're in here: please add base-uri 'self' to the CSP

<base href> is now load-bearing for API_BASE_URL, the Better Auth client base URL and the router basename, and the CSP at docker/nginx.conf:9 has no base-uri. That means any future HTML injection bug goes from "XSS" to "silently repoint every API call and the whole auth flow at an attacker's origin". One word, and this PR is exactly the right moment for it.

Smaller stuff

  • normalize_base_path() only fixes slashes. The value then goes unescaped into an nginx directive and into served HTML. It's operator-controlled and nginx -t makes it fail closed so it's not a vuln, but a ^/[A-Za-z0-9._~/-]*$ guard is one line.
  • The ESLint rule is narrower than it reads. It covers JSX src/href and fetch() args, but misses helper returns (the food images bug), window.location assignments (the logout bug), object properties like { api: '/api/chat/stream' } which is literally the shape you fixed in SparkyChatInterface, and new URL(). Good rule, just don't let it imply the sweep is complete.
  • helm/chart/templates/frontend/deployment.yaml doesn't pass SPARKY_BASE_PATH, so this is compose-only. Worth a line in the docs.
  • sub_filter only applies inside location /. Your build-artifact assertion catches the markup drifting, which I like, but not someone later adding an .html-matching location and silently killing the substitution.
  • getBasePath() does a document.querySelector on every call and sits in render paths. Easy to memoize.
