ArchivesSpace Proxy...

This task should have been easier than it was. So I needed to proxy archivesspace similar to how proxy Kaltura and Omeka from libmedia.

Usual apache proxy, but on archivesspace, there are some config settings in the ruby application that need to be set.

AppConfig[:frontend_url] = "http://libtest-1.willamette.edu:8080/archives/asadmintest"

AppConfig[:public_url] = "http://libtest-1.willamette.edu:8081/archives/astest"

So for them, the staff side is the frontend URL. Once I had these set up I then set the proxy pass on libmedia:

ProxyPass /archives/asadmin http://archivesspace.willamette.edu:8080/archives/asadmin
ProxyPassReverse /archives/asadmin http://archivesspace.willamette.edu:8080/archives/asadmin

ProxyPass /archives/as http://archivesspace.willamette.edu:8081/archives/as
ProxyPassReverse /archives/as http://archivesspace.willamette.edu:8081/archives/as

Thought that would be it, but there was still a link on the main page of the interface displaying archivesspace.willamette.edu

So I added this to the config.rb file:

AppConfig[:frontend_proxy_url] = 'https://libmedia.willamette.edu/archives/asadmin'
AppConfig[:public_proxy_url] = 'https://libmedia.willamette.edu/archives/as'

Now my front page link is properly pointing at the proxied address.
