Hi all! I have develop a ktor app locally and I have routes likes

/account

or

/events

that I would call at

<http://localhost:8080/events>

for example. Now I have deployed it on a server at something like

<https://some.domain/api/>

and I call endpoints at

<https://some.domain/api/events>

. Now there aren’t any route that is matched when I call that endpoint. I have an intercept where I print the request path and it says the path is

/api/events

which makes sense. My question is, how do I tell ktor that it’s hosted under a specific path ? In this case

/api

. This way, it would strip the

/api

part and the route would get matched and my code would run as expected. Thanks 🙂

Hey. Did you deploy a Ktor server inside a servlet container?

@Aleksei Tirman [JB] Thanks! No it’s not deployed in a container. It was but Tomcat was taking too much RAM for my web hosting so I decided to deploy as a fat jar (ShadowJar). Is it possible to set that

rootPath

inside the

application.conf

file? On the same level as the port.

Yes. This should work.

Currently I’m using this way of starting my web engine:

fun main(args: Array<String>): Unit = io.ktor.server.netty.EngineMain.main(args)

And my understanding is that it gets the port from the

application.conf

and probably other configuration. Now is having the embeddedServer inside the main function is a better way?

embeddedServer(Netty, applicationEngineEnvironment { } )

Thanks

No. It’s just a matter of taste.

Great, thanks!
