Base Path

Unfortunately you need to build the docker container, to configure a url base path. This is because SvelteKit needs to know the base path at build time.

Docker Build Arguments

When building the Docker image for the frontend, you can pass build arguments to set the base path and version.

`BASE_PATH`

Sets the base url path, it must begin with a slash and not end with one. Example (in build command):

clone the repo
cd into the repo's root directory
docker build --build-arg BASE_URL=/media -f Dockerfile .

`VERSION`

Sets the version variable in the container. This isn't strictly necessary, but it can be useful for debugging or versioning purposes. Example: docker build --build-arg VERSION=locally-built -f web/Dockerfile .
