Hi eu team!

Hope all is ok for you. Is it possible to modify a GxIT URL like https://c0f1771e21d7ee60-83b672c1b14a476180d38bdedbe5360c.interactivetoolentrypoint.interactivetool.ecology.usegalaxy.eu/sample-apps/SIG/ coming from subdomains to point for example https://c0f1771e21d7ee60-83b672c1b14a476180d38bdedbe5360c.interactivetoolentrypoint.interactivetool.usegalaxy.eu/sample-apps/SIG/ non subdomains oriented URL ? This will allow direct display of GxIT content instead of having an intermediate step related to security and https

The better solution is to use the path-based proxying that was added recently in Galaxy (giving more parity with the original GIEs).

If you can get your IT working with path-based proxying then, it won't be an issue, and it's easier for admins everywhere :) Currently the DNS based proxying is more or less impossible for most admins :(

No, unfortunately dan didn't provide any examples or documentation :(

https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/8596/files is the PR, I think you need to set requires_domain=False in your XML to start.

the interactivetools_prefix needs to be set (doesn't much matter)

entry_point_prefix = self.app.config.interactivetools_prefix

then it will generate a URL like:

rval = self.app.url_for(f'/{entry_point_prefix}/access/{entry_point_class}/{entry_point_encoded_id}/{entry_point.token}/')

but I'm not sure how this is communicated to the container, or if it is. If it is not, we need to do so, and then the container needs to know how to proxy this (some examples are around, I can help here.)

If you can test the first part (set requires_domain=false) and provide to me the environment variables passed into the container, I can help update your container.
