en var OTR_HTTPPREFIX not took into account

[jeanmi151]

Hey
while trying to help with this, #492
I remarked that OTR_HTTPPREFIX is not took into account when set.
I saw here that we can use environment variable ton configure few things : https://github.com/owntracks/recorder?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration-file
but we i try OTR_HTTPPREFIX I get 404 error every time.

To reproduce

# docker-compose.yaml
version: "3.6"
services:
  owntracks-recorder:
    container_name: owntracks-recorder
    image: owntracks/recorder
    ports:
      - 8083:8083
    environment:
      - OTR_PORT=0 # disables MQTT
      - OTR_HTTPPREFIX="/recorder/"
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - ./owntracks-recorder/config:/config
      - ./owntracks-recorder/store:/store
    restart: no

for OTR_HTTPPREFIX i tried :

• "/recorder/"
• /recorder/
• http://localhost:8083/recorder/
• "http://localhost:8083/recorder/"

see the log each time i see my var applied :

and I get 404 response for every try :

$ curl http://localhost:8083/recorder/
404 Not Found

The docs show that OTR_HTTPPREFIX is the prefix which is emitted by Recorder when we create tours, and its content should be a URL (e.g. https://example.com/recorder/) which points to a running Recorder.

[jpmens]

Tours are documented in our Booklet.

okay so this OTR_HTTPPREFIX as nothing to do with the root of the website (path where it should answer) ?
So it is "normal" i get 404 if I request /recorder/ with the previous configuration "http://localhost:8083/recorder/"

[jpmens]

it is "normal" if that URL doesn't exist, yes, of course. But it is a config error as it should point to where the recorder's Tours are listening.

okay thanks for clarifying :)

I guess we can close the issue if it is not one
