Subpath proxy

You can enable the subpath proxy by setting the RI_PROXY_PATH environment variable.

When RI_PROXY_PATH is being set with a path, Redis Insight is accessible only on that subpath. The default routes are given the provided prefix subpath. There isn’t any way to add another proxy behind this one unless the same subpath is used for the new one.

Using Redis Insight behind a reverse proxy

When you configure Redis Insight to run behind a reverse proxy like NGINX, set the request timeout to over 30 seconds on the reverse proxy because some requests can be long-running.

Redis Insight also allows you to manage its connection timeout on the form to configure the connection details. The default timeout is 30 seconds.

Hosting Redis Insight behind a prefix path (path-rewriting) is not supported.

    depends_on:
      - redisinsight
