hardcoded absolute URL paths everywhere

[ghost]

Mainsail Version:

2.5.1

Browser:

Firefox

Device:

Laptop

Operating System:

Linux

What happened?

the server hosting hosts other apps, so I have nginx configured to serve the app at /mainsail, instead of /. But this doesn't work, as throughout the HTML, JS, and CSS, there's hardcoded absolute paths assuming the app is hosted at /. I have this awful hack in my nginx config to make it temporarily sorta work:

location / {
  try_files $uri $uri/ /mainsail/$uri /mainsail/$uri/ =404;
}

but it's not great, and even with this ugly workaround, it's still not perfect, something in the JS is using the history API to overwrite the URL bar, resetting the path back to /.

Just one example of the problem, note the leading slash:

mainsail/index.html

Line 22 in 370d7d4

<script type="module" src="/src/main.ts"></script>

What did you expect to happen instead?

I expected the app to use relative URLs

How to reproduce this bug?

Install mainsail to a subdirectory of nginx's root directory
