Repo links on dashboard wrong when using a proxy frontend

[doodyd]

Description

The repository links on the dashboard repository widget are incorrect when gitea is behind a proxy (HAProxy in my case). All other links so far encountered are correct.

Example:

Repository link on dashboard (repo widget, pictured below):

http://gitea.example.com:3000/org/repo-name

All other repo links (all other links so far):

https://proxy-name.example.com/org/repo-name

Generally this can be solved via configuration by setting ROOT_URL accordingly, but I'll take this up as a bug as we should not render absolute URLs in HTML where relative ones (without origin) are sufficient.

This one #19345

• Multi-domain support, ROOT_URL problem, use relative URLs in templates instead of absolute URLs #19345

Okay, it's a duplicate then.

Thanks for the feedback and the tip. I searched the issues for a similar problem but it can be difficult to know what terms to use. Changing the ROOT_URL has resolved the issue.

Hi, i have installed the gitea in Truenas Scale (not core). Now, i have the ROOT_URL error too. But, when i modify the ROOT_URL in app.ini and reboot the gitea, the ROOT_URL didn't work, it still convert back into the default ROOT_URL in app.ini. Do you have any idea? thanks!
