Setup with reverse proxy leads to some static GET to localhost:[port] instead of the root domain

[thepra]

Describe the bug

As in the title, after setting up the writefreely server from the guide I found that out of the gate some resource were still pointing to localhost as if they were hard setup, like:

Bug number 2 is that error appearing in the h.js which you should look up(from Firefox latest release).

Steps to reproduce (if necessary)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Setup writefreely with reverse proxy
2. Open the website
3. Look at the console for errors

Expected behavior

What should've happened?
Right out of the box have pointing to static resources done right. And JS without error.

Application configuration

• Single mode or Multi-user mode? Multi-user
• Database? sqlite
• Open registration? no
• Federation enabled? yes

One solution could be that at the writefreely --config step there is also an option that asks if the writefreely server is going to be behind a reverse proxy, and if so, switch from pointers from localhost:[port] to blog.example.com

Thanks for bringing this up, @thepra. What is your host config value? If it's set to localhost and you intend this to be accessed outside the local machine, you'll want to instead set it to the public-facing URL (see config docs for more info). Based on your screenshots, it should probably be https://blog.[redacted-domain]

Closing for now. Please let us know if this turns out to be something other than a misconfiguration.
