Hello everyone !

Newbie in Django, starting a new project with Django 3.1. The server/dataflow structure is

browser --> HTTPS --> reverse-proxy --> HTTPS --> Apache --> HTTP --> localhost:port --> Gunicorn --> Django + dks.app

The Django project name is "dks" and one app is "demo1". So I would like to have this URL in the browser :

https://revproxy.domain.com/dir/dks/

and my app as

https://revproxy.domain.com/dir/dks/demo1

I have full control over the whole chain and can configure whatever it needs, like HTTP headers, directories, whatever. I know about proxypass and friends.

I'm just not sure what is the documented way of "shifting" "/" to "/dir/dks/" so my URL routing works for apps and admin. To me it's quite a basic requirement that I don't see how to do in the URL doc. I would like to have Django root URL to not sit at "/", but at "/dir/subdir/".

The only hint I found is years old : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17420478/how-to-set-base-url-in-django
