@q I'm using
location ~ ^/system/(.*) {
rewrite ^ https://lowondisk.space/mastodon/$1;
}

I thought it would just replace part of the URL but it redirects all requests to https://lowondisk.space/mastodon

@matrix Yeah, try doing a proxy_pass instead. That’s how I’m able to route glowers.club on my VPS to my home server. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63877741/nginx-proxy-pass-with-rewrite-and-regex

@q Looks like it's not working. I think that some part of the default Mastodon Nginx config might be conflicting with it.

@matrix I’m not familiar with their default config, but I guess you’ll have to back it up, try editing it and pray :/

@q Looks like I found a solution

@matrix @q redirecting is not a good idea. It doesn't always work and also breaks some https clients.

Use proxy_pass
