Does anyone have a config for Apache?
Edit: Never mind, switched to using a subdomain.

thank you, great!!

there is my config, proxy pass to 127.0.0.1:2283, and modified something code because the error, I just delete some code nginx -t show to me, but I don't understand them. the config work perfectly now.

@aveexy thank you again, and your nginx skill is so excellent, how do you learn it?

Hello,

Thank you very much for the configuration file; it has been extremely helpful!

However, after updating Immich to version v1.124.0 this morning, I encountered a significant issue. The update caused everything to break, and I received the following error:

Error: Error: 404
    at Object.ht [as ok] (https://mydomain.com/immich/_app/immutable/chunks/fetch-client.DqMPutSq.js:1:7918)

    at async Wt (https://mydomain.com/immich/_app/immutable/chunks/entry.CGh5KwEn.js:1:17711)

After some troubleshooting, I managed to create a configuration file that works for me. Additionally, I included support for large file uploads with the following directive:

client_max_body_size 50000M;

Here is my immich.conf

location /api/ {
    return 301 /immich$request_uri;

}

I still have an issue on the administration panel where all links in the menu are rewritten with a second /immich, resulting in the following error:

Not found: /immich/immich/admin/library-management - 404
undefined

I can't figure out why this is happening. If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate your help !

Have a nice day !
