[stork-users] Stork question about base URL

[Slawek Figiel]

Hello Mik!

After installing the Stork server from the packages, the UI files are 
located in the /usr/share/stork/www directory. Have you moved them from 
this directory?

If you placed the static UI files in another directory or on another 
machine. In that case, the base URL argument is not applicable, and you 
need to manually configure your reverse proxy and base URL in the index 
file following the steps described in the documentation.

See 
https://stork.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#stork-ui-behind-a-reverse-proxy 
for detailed info about the base URL argument.

 > Are base URL and rest base URL the same?

Yes, they are. All HTTP server-related CLI arguments have the `rest-` 
prefix.
