Is it possible to use observium on a webserver as a subdirectory, i.e. https://server/observium? I'm a small shop that's part of a bigger organization & I don't have access to DNS to create a subdomain. Apologies if this has been answered already. I did a quick search & saw a similar question asked, but the thread didn't seem to contain an answer I could see.
TIA
Nope, it is not supported.

But with a few modifications it works (at least for my home installation). Patch can be found on http://puther.home.xs4all.nl/observium-subdir.diff

please to be not encouraging people to use unofficial patches (and thus breaking their ability to update).

Can it be added? If the included patch does work, it doesn't seem like it would be that much trouble. It would be nice to have the choice.

The patch modifies the code to *only* work in a subdirectory.
We don't support running in a subdirectory because none of the development team (and indeed none of the large installations who've contributed to the project) run in a subdirectory.
Historically whenever support for running in a subdirectory was hacked to work, it subsequently broke in later versions. For this reason we don't provide the ability to do it, because we can't guarantee that it will continue to work in any future version.
We prefer to spend our development resources on adding new features and fixing bugs that impact the majority of users, rather than pandering to the personal preference and/or laziness of the minority.
Setting up a subdomain is not difficult, particularly for the target market of Observium.

Well this is nothing to do with laziness but personal preference of somebody who wants run it on sub-folder and faster setup.
There no cons running it as sub-folder, well except it doesn't work and not supported of course for now. I just not really understand why you fighting this small sub-folder thingy too much.
But I get your point, hackish way isn't best way to provide support for this subfolder thing, as it tend to break your door and eat your dog.

As I've mentioned before, I'll gladly commit patches that make it work. Somewhat. In a non-hackish way. But I haven't seen a single one that doesn't break other things...
It'll also stay forever unsupported as noone in their right mind will run it like this. :P (*)

If you can add a new IP address (or IP alias) to the machine, it does work to just access it by IP; a hostname isn't technically required. Messy, but it works. I've been viewing mine (over my VPN) by going to http://192.168.100.13/ for some time now.
