I am trying to setup odoo and have it working from the port url

    http://<ip address>:8069

I can get it to work in nginx if I serve it from the root

    http://<ip address>

using this nginx conf

    location / { 
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8069;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
   }

However, I would like to serve if from a sub folder

    http://<ip address>/odoo

So I would expect that I could set the odoo parameters

    web.base.url = http://<ip address>/odoo
    web.base.url.freeze = True

and add a rewrite rule to nginx

    location /odoo/ {
        rewrite ^/odoo(/.*)$ $1 break;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8069;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
   }

but it does not work.

It seems to be ignoring web.base.url no matter what I set it to. 

I found someone else that looks to be having the same issue.

Why is it ignoring web.base.url?
